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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Over 600,000 kids are going without meals this summer because Indiana opted out of a federal food program. My bill would change that. Learn more about my Summer Meals for Kids Act: carson.house.gov/media/press-...

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.

Trump's cuts to USAID have already caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. That's why I offered 7 amendments to restore America's humanitarian leadership, strengthen our economy, and protect our national security. What happens around the world impacts us all.

I am calling on DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to close the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Families have reported inhumane treatment and unsafe conditions for children. No child belongs in detention. DHS must close this facility and end family detention.

Every child deserves a Head Start. This week, Head Start celebrates 61 years of providing early learning services to kids—including me. I introduced bills to strengthen Head Start and protect it for generations of families.

Today, I shared in a moment of silence on the House floor to honor Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad, who were tragically killed earlier this week in San Diego.   Amin, Mansour, and Nadir acted with extraordinary courage to protect others and prevent even greater loss of life.

When Americans answer the call to serve, we have a responsibility to support them when they return home. That’s why I introduced amendments to strengthen VA medical research, protect food security programs for veterans, and require bias reviews for AI systems used by the VA & Department of Defense.

States are already redrawing their maps after the court gave a green light to racial discrimination and electoral exclusion. This is unacceptable.

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a majority minority district takes us back. It’s a step back, but we have a path forward: Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Food deserts. SNAP privatization. Cuts to Summer EBT that keep kids fed when school is out. Indiana families deserve better and no child should go hungry because of Republican policies. That’s why I’ve offered THREE amendments to the Farm Bill to say DO BETTER.

BILL ALERT: I’m co-leading the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act. Data centers are often shrouded in mystery, with plans moving forward before meaningful public input.

Families are already dealing with the high cost of living. Budget cuts would leave children and mothers without essentials they need to stay healthy. This is wrong and why I voted to rein in the president’s powers and end this senseless war.

Congressman André Carson @carson.house.gov · 17/04/2026
Data centers should never pass along costs to ordinary American families. Corporations should pay their own energy bills – period.

The stakes of AI – especially with China – could not be higher. If Chinese AI models win, we face a future of censorship and surveillance, and fall behind on sectors like manufacturing that drive Indiana’s economy.

Yesterday, the House passed the ALERT Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bill strengthens coordination between civilian and military aircraft, modernizes collision prevention technology, and improves aviation safety.

After 2 deaths this year alone, reports of delayed access to medical care, and resources already stretched thin, ICE should not continue to operate at Miami Correctional.

I was proud to visit the Damien Center to highlight $850,000 I secured to support housing, healthcare, and HIV prevention services for Indianapolis residents. I will keep fighting to bring resources back home and invest in programs that strengthen our community.

Women make less than men for doing the same work — and the gap gets even wider for women of color. I'm working to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to prevent discrimination, protect women, and make our economy better for everyone.
