SUBJECT QUOTE
This is a huge win for Indiana. Government works best when it’s near the people it serves, and for the past year, we’ve been working with Hoosier ag leaders to move critical programs out of our nation’s capital,” Banks posted on X.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement contains a verifiable factual claim about moving federal programs out of Washington, D.C. during 2025-2026. As a U.S. Senator, Jim Banks would need to have actually participated in relocating critical federal programs to Indiana or elsewhere during the preceding year for this to be true. Without evidence of specific programs being moved from the nation's capital to Indiana during this timeframe, the claim appears to be false.
