Washington, DC – Congressman Jim Banks, IN-3, Chairman of the Guardian Fund, is pleased to announce the PAC’s endorsement of 22 Veteran Members of Congress running for re-election this cycle. These endorsements add to the recent veteran endorsements of 5 candidates running for Congress. (listed below)
“As Chairman of the Guardian Fund, I am excited about each candidate we have endorsed in 2020. While Democrats refuse to get back to work for the American people, we are committed to supporting candidates who give us the best chance to win back the House and maintain a conservative majority in the Senate. It is time for Congress to put American families and workers first and the Guardian Fund will work tirelessly to make that possible,” stated Congressman Banks.
The purpose of the Guardian Fund is to promote conservative minority and veteran leaders who we believe will successfully restore our great country back to the constitutional republic established by our founding fathers.
The United States deserves to be led by individuals who not only understand our military, but by those who have sworn an oath to be a part it. Forty years ago, 72 percent of lawmakers in the US House and 78 percent of those in the US Senate honorably served in the armed forces. We need servicemen and women to safely lead us through the challenges on the 21st century battlefield and to represent this country on the world stage.
Guardian Fund is a political action committee established in 2012 by Lt Col Allen West. The current Chairman is Congressman Jim Banks, IN-3. The Guardian Fund has endorsed and assisted in the elections of 139 veteran and minority candidates nationwide since its inception.
