Senator Banks, You Are Supposed to Represent ALL Hoosiers
To: Sen. Banks
From: A constituent in Mount Vernon, IN
April 3
The rhetoric that you share on Fox, CNN, on social media, and what you say to them face to face or through your staff towards your constituents and fellow Americans is below a senator. Your job is to represent your constituents, ALL of your constituents, in a meaningful and professional way. You do realize that your constituents are all Hoosiers - no matter their political beliefs or lack thereof. You are assuming a lot if you think that only Democratic voters are the only ones with concerns questions. I can assure you that Republicans, Independents, and those who describe themselves as apolitical also have concerns and questions that deserve answers and real solutions to problems from you as one of their senators. Stop being scared and disrespectful of your constituents and have honest and open conversations with them. They deserve your time and energy and a positive voice and for you to be their advocate, especially when services are being threatened and laws being violated, unnecessary firings, and inhumane behaviors. Do your job and stand up against the Trump administration and stand with Hoosiers and Americans and to protect our democracy!
