Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) released the following statement after the election of Speaker Mike Johnson:

“Mike Johnson is one of the most trustworthy men in Washington and the conservative leader we need to unify our conference after a tumultuous three weeks. From his steadfast defense of life to holding the Biden administration accountable and reining in our reckless spending, Mike Johnson is a proven America First fighter who understands we are in a battle to save our country.

Speaker Johnson’s background as a constitutional lawyer make him the right man at the right time to lead the fight for our conservative agenda and effectively communicate that message to the American people.

I was proud to support Speaker Johnson on the House Floor today. Now let’s get back to work!”
