2014

From 2014 to 2015, he took a leave of absence from the Indiana State Senate to serve in Afghanistan.

Banks addressed the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference in 2014 after he was selected as one of their Top 10 Conservatives Under 40.

2015

Invoking an Indiana state law that 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, and resumed his duties as state senator on May 8.

On May 12, 2015, Banks announced his candidacy for Congress.

The incumbent, Marlin Stutzman, announced he would not run for reelection and would instead campaign for the Republican nomination to succeed retiring Indiana Senator Dan Coats.

The Club for Growth endorsed Banks.

Banks won the primary election, separating himself from five other like-minded conservative opponents, with 34% of the vote.

In January 2020, Banks faced backlash after saying that remarks by Representative Ilhan Omar about her experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder were "offensive to our nation’s veterans."

As a child, Omar fled civil war in Somalia and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp.

After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Donald Trump refused to concede while making claims of fraud, Banks was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

He later changed his mind.

On July 21, 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vetoed Kevin McCarthy's assigning of Banks and Jim Jordan to the January 6 Select Committee on the grounds that both had amplified Trump's false claims of fraud.

Banks subsequently claimed that Pelosi was at fault for the January 6 insurrection and that she was using the commission to cover up her role.

In late February 2021, Banks and a dozen other Republican House members skipped votes and enlisted others to vote for them, citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

He and the other members were actually attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, which was held at the same time as their slated absences.
