Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) today issued the following statement after attending the inauguration of President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence:

"I was honored to attend today's Inauguration and personally witness the peaceful transition of power, a great American tradition. Regardless of politics, all Americans can appreciate and celebrate that our government is limited, and the Constitution ensures that our nation's leadership peacefully changes hands.

"This Inauguration is a special day for all Hoosiers, as one of our own is now serving as Vice-President. I congratulate my friend Vice-President Mike Pence on officially beginning his new role, and I am confident that Indiana's influence will be felt in Washington for years to come.

"Today marks a new day for our country and a new opportunity to come together and confront the challenges we face. I look forward to working with President Trump and Vice-President Pence on real solutions to issues like rebuilding our military, fixing health care, caring for our veterans and reforming our broken tax system."
