Tuesday, May 3, 2016
Alexandria, VA – Senate Conservatives Fund President Ken Cuccinelli made the following statement after conservative Jim Banks (R-IN) was declared the winner of the Republican primary election for Congress in Indiana’s 3rd District:

“Jim Banks is a proven conservative leader who will fight for our principles in Washington. He ran a good campaign and we congratulate him on his victory tonight. We are proud to continue to stand by Jim and help him win in November. We know he will fight to balance the budget, defend our religious liberties, and stand up to the liberals in both parties.”

Jim Banks is the third SCF-backed candidate to win the GOP nomination this year. Warren Davidson (R-OH) won the special election primary for Congress to succeed former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) in Ohio’s 8th District and U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) won the nomination for re-election in Utah.
