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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Congressman André Carson @carson.house.gov · 19/08/2026
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.

As costs continue to rise, more families than ever need help to put food on the table. I helped pass out groceries at the Gleaners Mobile Food Clinic—and I’ll continue fighting to ensure no one goes hungry.

I would not be where I am today without Head Start. I know firsthand what this program means for children and families. But President Trump wants to strip away the standards that ensure quality education and family support, threatening a program that has helped generations of children succeed.

After my oversight inquiry into Miami Correctional Facility, ICE acknowledged that detainees missed nearly 800 prescribed medication doses. These admissions raise serious concerns about the conditions inside the facility.

Congressman André Carson @carson.house.gov · 30/07/2026
NEW: I just released ICE’s response to my inquiry on conditions at Indiana’s Miami Correctional Facility.   ICE acknowledges they failed to provide a staggering 799 doses of medication. ICE has a clear & duty to protect the health and safety of everyone in its custody – and they are failing.

As AI plays a growing role in our national defense, Americans deserve transparency and accountability. This past week, the House passed my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act requiring public reports on how the military is using AI and what safeguards are in place.

My reminder to Muslim women working in public service: continue to take up space. Your presence and perspective matter. It was an honor to meet so many rising leaders at this year's Hijab on the Hill!

Nolan Wells' family is experiencing every Black family's worst nightmare. Not only are they suffering the unimaginable grief of losing a child, they're not getting the truth, transparency, or accountability.

Congressman André Carson @carson.house.gov · 22/07/2026
Yesterday, the House passed my @aclu.org endorsed amendment requiring public reports on how the military uses AI.   Weapons of war shouldn’t be handed to algorithms without human judgment and strong safeguards.

Our nation's intelligence services must always be ready for what's next and learn from our past mistakes. Today, I asked Gen. McMaster how we can best prepare for emerging threats through stronger intelligence sharing.

I called for an end to ICE detention at Miami Correctional back in April.    New reporting confirms my earlier concerns: lack of medical care, staffing shortages, and now, forged data.

Marion County saw a 17.5% drop in families receiving SNAP benefits over the last year because of Trump's cuts. Grocery prices continue to rise because of Trump's tariffs and inflation.  This administration is taking away funding to help families afford food when food is more expensive than ever.

Congressman André Carson @carson.house.gov · 15/07/2026
For too long, America has treated funding to Israel as automatic and unconditional. That needs to end.  No country should receive a blank check. Netanyahu's government continues to bomb Gaza, block aid, seize and destroy Palestinian homes, and promote settler violence.

The Trump administration has been diverting FEMA funds to ICE — while natural disasters are more frequent and severe.

In less than a week, ICE agents killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Yet instead of demanding answers and accountability, MAGA Republicans continue handing ICE bigger checks with virtually no meaningful oversight.

Hoosier families should not have to pay more at the pump because of President Trump's unnecessary war. The American people deserve an explanation for this conflict and why he chose not to get support from Congress.

After President Trump promised to end the war he started with Iran, he is dragging us back into an unauthorized and unnecessary war. Working families are already struggling with the cost of living.

Families with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, Haiti, Yemen, and Ethiopia could lose their work permits as soon as July 10.    If you or someone you know is impacted, I have a list of local legal service providers and Know Your Rights resources on my website.

President Trump is holding critical legislation hostage in an effort to pass the SAVE Act that disenfranchises millions of eligible voters. We should be focused on lowering costs, expanding housing, and protecting the right for every eligible American to vote.

I'm supporting a nationwide pause on all new AI data centers until safeguards are put in place — protecting union jobs and your energy bill.  I also introduced my Data Center Transparency Act to make sure neighborhood feedback is central.
