The official Bluesky account for Congressman André Carson of Indiana's 7th District. Fighting for you.

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.

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.

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.

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-...

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.

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.

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.

Elanco has already brought 1,300 jobs to Indiana, with 600 more expected – and is cementing Indianapolis’ status as a research hub. I was honored to tour the facility today and sit down with Elanco’s leadership!

The president has signed an emergency declaration for Indiana to provide federal assistance in the aftermath of catastrophic floods. I will be working with the city to help secure new funds for recovery efforts.

Indianapolis: follow the advice and directives of local authorities as we navigate severe flooding. Residents in Ravenswood and Rocky Ripple are strongly advised to evacuate. I’ll continue monitoring conditions—if necessary, I’m prepared to work to bring federal resources to Indianapolis.
