Senator Todd Young and I, and the nine other representatives, representing every corner of the state, are all working together to make sure Indiana gets everything that we need to rebuild and help those who need it most.
I will work with Indiana officials and the federal delegation to ensure Indiana gets the federal support it needs to rebuild from severe weather and help those most affected.

The Indiana congressional delegation, including U.S. Senator Jim Banks, sent President Trump a letter supporting Governor Braun's August 20 major disaster declaration request; the letter said emergency aid had been important and urged approval of additional recovery support.
Assessments
Banks took concrete same-term action consistent with the promise: his office coordinated with Indiana/local officials and FEMA, he joined the Indiana delegation letter backing Gov. Braun's major disaster declaration request, and emergency federal assistance was reportedly unlocked. But the promised outcome was broader than initial emergency aid, covering rebuilding support and help for those most affected; the evidence shows additional recovery/rebuilding aid was still pending, so this is substantial progress rather than full delivery.
