Huntington, IN - Gary Snyder, Democratic candidate for Congress in Indiana’s Third Congressional District and veteran of the Army and National Guard where he served as a light infantryman and military police, released the following statement following Congressman Jim Bank’s NO vote on the Bipartisan #HB1836, Guard & Reserve GI Bill Parity Act (1), which would expand the GI Bill eligibility for National Guard and Reserves. This follows Banks’ NO vote against the American Rescue Plan (2) which provided $17 billion dollars in support of Veterans in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Jim Banks continues to put extreme partisan politics ahead of the needs of our veterans. As a veteran, and more importantly, as an American, I am outraged that Jim Banks continues to put his personal ambitions and extreme partisan politics ahead of the needs of our veterans and their families. Jim should know better,” said Snyder. “Helping veterans and their families should not be a partisan issue. As your next Congressman, whether you are a Republican or Democrat, I will always do what is right and help our veterans and their families,” Snyder added
