Indy Standard

André Carson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Indiana's 7th district, recently shared his views on several issues through social media posts. Carson, who has been serving in Congress since 2008 after succeeding Julia Carson, addressed topics ranging from educational funding to legislative measures and historical remembrance.

On January 25, 2025, André Carson expressed concerns regarding funding decisions affecting Martin University. He stated that "Martin University is the only Predominately Black Institution serving adult learners in Indiana. The decision to withdraw funding from Martin University and eliminate state DEI programs rejects what’s best for Hoosiers in favor of dangerous, inaccurate, & partisan talking points."

Later that day, Carson announced his support for financial regulation by stating "I voted to pass the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act — and it cannot be repealed by executive order." This underscores his commitment to maintaining legislative safeguards against potential financial malpractices.

On January 27, 2025, marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Carson emphasized the importance of remembering historical atrocities. He remarked that "On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jewish people who were killed in the Holocaust. We can never forget the lessons of history. We must stand against hate, division, and injustice."
