Congressman André Carson

I’m proud to have earned a perfect score on the @hrc.org’s Congressional Scorecard. I will always stand up for LGBTQ+ constituents and fight back against attacks on their rights. Everyone deserves to live free from discrimination, and my work in Congress will continue to reflect that.

Additional early voting locations are open in Marion County! Go to vote.indy.gov to learn more.

The Trump Administration is sending election monitors to Marion and Lake Counties, which has some of Indiana's largest Black and Latino populations. This raises serious concerns.

Voter suppression and voter intimidation is illegal. We cannot let anyone intimidate us out of exercising our right to vote.

Today, my office was alerted to a suspicious letter addressed to me reportedly containing a powdery substance, similar to letters sent to other congressional offices across the country.

I thank local and federal law enforcement officers for their swift response and efforts to keep my staff and constituents safe.

Political violence, threats, and intimidation have no place in our democracy. No public servant should have to fear for their safety simply for doing their job. We cannot allow threats or intimidation to become a normal part of public service.

I’m proud to have secured $1 million for Butler University to expand its engineering and business data analytics programs. This funding will support new labs and equipment, giving students hands on experience with the technology they will use in their careers.

Stop by the Boner Center until noon! My office is available to answer questions and connect you to services.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we recognize the generations of Hispanic Americans who have helped shape our nation. Your contributions are an essential part of America's story and should be celebrated.

A 5-year-old was in the backseat when ICE agents shot at a car multiple times in New York yesterday. Opening fire near a child is unsafe. Firing a gun in the middle of a busy street is unsafe. Performing arrests while masked and wearing construction vests is unsafe.

This administration will continue to try and defend their reckless, rogue, and cruel activity by insisting it’s about safety. It’s not, and it never was.

Coburn Place in Indianapolis is a lifeline for survivors of domestic violence and their children. Abuse isn't just physical. It can be emotional, financial, sexual, or even spiritual. If you are looking for support, call 211 or text your zip code to 898211.

Navigating federal agencies can be complicated. When this Indianapolis family ran into an issue with the IRS, my office was able to help them work through it. If you’re having trouble with a federal agency, my office may be able to help you too.

MAGA Republicans promised a stronger economy and more jobs. Instead, working families got higher gas prices, expensive groceries, and an unnecessary war. House Democrats are working to deliver real solutions for the American people.

Fewer than 40% of households in Martindale Brightwood own their home. I helped secure federal funding to change that. Today, we cut the ribbon on the first phase of Ralston Hills – & there’s much more ahead as we continue to preserve history & soul of Martindale Brightwood.

A public utility company should answer to the public, not shareholders. Hoosiers should not have to carry the burden of high electricity costs. That is why I led a bipartisan letter urging federal regulators to reject BlackRock's proposed acquisition of AES.

This deal could raise the already high electricity bills for Hoosiers, and I will continue holding utility companies accountable.

Hoosier farmers are spending $1,804 more this year just to fill up their tanks. This is the cost of Trump's war.

17 Sept

Speaker Johnson sent Congress home early instead of holding a vote on common sense AI regulations — giving a free pass to tech billionaires. I joined 106 of my colleagues to demand Congress take action. The risks are clear and urgent, and we need to act now. carson.house.gov/media/press-...

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost from September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders who answered the call. 25 years later, we will never forget.

8 Sept

NEW: 261 Democratic and Republican lawmakers have come together to challenge Trump in court – this time, Trump’s attempts to limit mail-in voting. Reminder: even Donald Trump votes by mail. It’s safe and secure.

8 Sept

Challenging this administration in court is one of the most effective tools we have, and it’s a tool we’re going to keep using.

2 Sept

Reports indicate ICE arrests in Indianapolis are surging. I just launched an official Congressional inquiry into ICE's presence in Indy — and I'm making sure you can access help and resources if needed.

2 Sept

If you have a loved one who resides in Indiana's 7th Congressional District and who is detained by ICE, my office can request answers. While we cannot legally represent you, we do have a list of available legal resources and other assistance. You can find it all at carson.house.gov

1 Sept

When this Indianapolis family needed help with the IRS, my office stepped in to get the issue resolved. If you are having trouble with a federal program, my team is here to help. Visit carson.house.gov.

After visiting Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana and demanding answers from ICE, I held a Report to the Community to share what we have learned about the conditions inside.

ICE confirmed nearly 800 failures to deliver medication adding to this facility's already troubling record of mistreatment and failure to meet legal standards. The people of Indiana deserve transparency and accountability. ICE detention at Miami Correctional Facility must end.

Hoosiers have organized nearly 60 events across the state for a weekend of public witness to stop ICE detention at Miami Correctional. Learn more at indianaorganizing.org

63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders brought thousands together for the March on Washington to demand freedom and economic opportunity for African Americans.

Today, as voting rights are under attack, we find ourselves fighting for those same promises. We must keep fighting until those promises become reality for all Americans.

I caught up with my friend Mike Epps ahead of his third annual Community Festival! Stop by Washington Park tomorrow between noon and 6pm. Thank you Mike for always giving back to Indy.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But he wants to make it so you can’t.    The Supreme Court just failed to block the president’s plan to restrict mail-in voting.

25 Aug

But it’s not the end of this legal battle – and my colleagues and I in the @cbc.house.gov will continue fighting this attack on our voting rights.

Join me, @acluindiana.bsky.social, and Indiana Organizing Project for a webinar report to the community on concerns about Miami Correctional Facility, learn of efforts to cease ICE detention, and provide voice to the individuals detained at Miami.

The webinar will be held on Zoom and requires no registration. Simply log in at 12PM on Thursday, August 27. Go to carson.house.gov/ICE to join.

Gary residents have been without power for two weeks. Their electricity bills have been going up for the last two years — while their utility company rakes in huge profits.

I'm backing Indiana's request for a federal major disaster declaration to bring more funds to our state. But we also need long-term accountability and change from utility companies that put profits over people.

Indianapolis is recovering from record-breaking flooding, and I want to make sure Hoosiers know what resources are available. As recovery continues, I am working to ensure Indianapolis gets the federal resources it needs to recover and rebuild.

20 Aug

We’re in an affordability crisis. The average Hoosier is paying $3,300 more a year for basic expenses under this administration.

19 Aug

Indianapolis continues to fight the aftermath of catastrophic flooding. I joined the entire Indiana congressional delegation in supporting the state's major disaster declaration to help ensure our community has the federal assistance necessary to recover.

Careers in the aviation industry are incredibly gratifying — and we need to prepare the next generation of workers. The Aviation Institute of Maintenance in my district is one way Hoosiers can learn the skills necessary to work in aviation maintenance and trade technician positions.
