The Public Record
Jim Banks is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Indiana's 3rd congressional district since January 3, 2017. A member of the Republican Party, Banks has focused on issues such as trade, national security, and fiscal responsibility during his time in office. He has been an advocate for policies aimed at countering the influence of countries like China in U.S. markets and has expressed concerns about the potential changes to Senate rules by Democrats, particularly regarding the filibuster.
The State of Indiana has so much to be proud of. Indiana provides a road map for the rest of the Nation when it comes to fiscal responsibility. There are few leaders in the House of Representatives who do as much for the conservative cause…
The VA's struggle to implement the Forever GI Bill is not primarily an IT story. This is a story about student veterans pursuing their educations, paying their bills, and living their lives.
I represent the state of Indiana, home to 544,000 manufacturing jobs, so this is particularly important to me.
So due to the briefings that you have received, the information that you have seen on the subject, you agree that the Confucius Institutes, the Wawa grants to college campuses that also do sensitive research poses a threat?
I want to start first with a conversation that you and I had before this committee a year ago related to education savings accounts for military families.
Last week, Indiana University in my State ended their relationship with the Confucius Institute, MIT dropped grants from Wawa technologies, again on the same subject.
It's completely unacceptable that this bill totally guts the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.
Equality and freedom must coexist. H.R. 5 totally redefines one and delivers a serious blow to the other.
I hope we can get there before the wheels fall off the bus and correct the problems before it gets to that point.
I was surprised and, frankly, disappointed that not only was he unable to appear this morning, but VA declined to send any witness in his place from OIT.
Everyone agreed the IPO is not living up to Congress' vision for a single point of accountability.
I was relieved to see the Chief Information Officer, Mr. Gfrerer, confirmed by the Senate on the very last day of the 115th Congress.
It is my privilege to be working with you on this Subcommittee this Congress.
It is with a heavy heart that I rise today to mourn the loss of my friend, Kyle Forti. A native of DeKalb County, Kyle was the epitome of what it means to be a Hoosier. A strong man of faith, he held deep love for his God, his family, and…
Like so many others, I have been deeply disturbed by the news out of the New York and Virginia State Legislatures, where infanticide is being legalized. Today I rise in strong support of H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors…
I hope to share it with everybody that I know back home because it makes an incredible case for how we can do what we need to do to award teachers the salaries that they deserve for the important work that they do.
There has been a lot of focus today on how this proposal will destroy jobs, and rightfully so.
This isn't just a number. That is nearly 65,000 Hoosiers losing the dignity that comes from having a job.
At a time when we have nearly 7 million jobs that cannot be filled, it is incredibly reckless to rob people of their livelihoods in order to live up to a campaign talking point.
It is incredibly reckless to rob people of their livelihoods in order to live up to a campaign talking point.
We applaud you for the foresight in creating this Subcommittee and leading this conversation forward.
Thank you all for being here today for the first hearing of the Subcommittee on Technology Modernization.
I have spent much of the past 2 months studying VA's EHR modernization and the Military Health System GENESIS Program.
I think that this project has great promise, and in addition to the care of our veterans, we need to focus on accountability.
