Rep. Jim Banks Selected as “True Blue Member” by FRC Action

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) and Tony Perkins, the President of Family Research Council (FRC) Action released the following statements regarding Rep. Banks’ recognition as a “True Blue Member.”  This distinction was awarded to Rep. Banks for his 100% pro-life and pro-family voting record. 

Said Rep. Banks, “I am honored to receive this recognition from an organization dedicated to protecting life, religious freedom, and traditional family values.  Hoosiers from Indiana’s Third District live out these principles in their daily lives and expect their members of Congress to reflect these values in their voting record.  As the new Democrat-controlled House tries to radically expand pro-abortion policies, crack down on religious freedoms and erode family values, I am proud to stand with FRC Action in fighting back.”

Said Tony Perkins, "We thank Rep. Banks for voting to defend and advance faith, family, and freedom. As a 'True Blue Member' he voted 100% on legislation that protects babies who are born alive after a failed abortion, help hard-working families set aside funds for an unborn child’s future education, and defund the individual mandate in D.C.

"Rep. Banks deserves praise for his unwavering commitment to stand for life, family, marriage, and religious liberty. Hoosiers should be encouraged to know that they have a Member of Congress such as Rep. Banks who has come alongside other members and our president to begin the work of rebuilding our nation and protecting the very values that made America great.”
