Sen. Banks Calls for Delay in the Senate Republican Leadership Race

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) issued the following statement on the upcoming Senate Republican leadership race:

Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): "I head back to Washington today. We have a lot to get done before the end of the year and I'm eager to get back to work.

"We need to elect Republican leadership in the Senate, but tomorrow is too soon.

"Our conference needs to sit down and have a frank conversation about where we fell short, what we stand for, and what we're going to do for the working families who sent us here. Let's have that discussion first. Then we can choose the leaders who will carry out the agenda we agree on."
