If you are a Democrat in Northeast Indiana. you are already itching to vote against Jim Banks in November. Banks is one of the more cunning members of the Sedition Caucus. He isn’t the same kind of comedy fodder that MTG, Lauren Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn are. He is smart, disciplined, and ruthless. In 2020, he co-authored a bill that would have withheld federal funding from schools that didn’t have in-person learning. This would have been a monstrous law to have during a pandemic that is still killing off his own base. This year, he continues to be a proud soldier in the GOP’s idiotic culture war.
And this is why more people should be talking about Gary Snyder, the strongest candidate in the Democratic primary. Snyder is a Army veteran, a media personality, and an investor. He supports voting rights and will work to make healthcare more affordable.
Republicans have represented NE Indiana in Congress since 1994. But I believe that Snyder can and should beat Jim Banks in the fall. The main reason is the January 6th coup attempt. Banks could have stood up to the Former Guy’s Big Lie before J6. He did not. Banks could have held Trump accountable after J6. He won’t. Gary Snyder has a moral courage that Jim Banks lacks.
Here is Gary’s website for more information.
