Talk about a power couple.
Indiana state Sen. Jim Banks has found the perfect match to fill in for him in the state legislature while he serves in Afghanistan as part of his Navy Reserves unit – his wife.
In what is reportedly an Indiana first, Banks’ wife Amanda will serve as an interim senator in his place while he completes his Afghanistan tour.
Banks, speaking with Fox News in a joint interview with his wife on Wednesday, said he’s “very proud.”
