Jim Banks (born July 16, 1979) is an American politician and Republican member of the Indiana Senate. Banks was first elected to serve in the chamber for the 17th district in 2010, and upon military deployment to Afghanistan, he took a leave of absence from the state senate since September 2014. Invoking an Indiana state law which allows state and local officeholders to take leaves of absence during active duty military service, Banks was temporarily replaced by his wife, Amanda Banks, who held the office for the senate's 2015 legislative session. He returned to Indiana from overseas duty on April 14, 2015〔(【引用サイトリンク】 State Senator returns from deployment in Afghanistan )〕 and resumed his duties as state senator on May 8, 2015. On May 12, 2015 Banks announced his intention to run for Indiana's Third Congressional District. The incumbent, Congressman Marlin Stutzman announced he would not run for reelection and instead campaign for the Republican nomination to succeed retiring Indiana Senator Dan Coats. With assistance from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) he has supported "right-to-work" legislation in Indiana. Banks addressed the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., on March 9, 2014, after he was selected as one of their Top 10 Conservatives Under 40. Banks worked for NAI Harding Dahm, which was acquired by Bradley Company. Prior to his deployment to Afghanistan he was a broker in their Fort Wayne, Indiana office.〔http://www.bradleyco.com/about/our-offices/fort-wayne/〕 He formerly worked in Business Development for The Hagerman Group, a commercial and industrial construction company. Prior to his election as state senator he served as a member of the Whitley County Council from 2009 to 2010. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Banks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
