André Carson, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana's 7th district, has recently taken to social media to express his opposition to certain Republican initiatives. On March 17, 2025, Carson shared his efforts in preventing the sale of a significant building in Indianapolis. He stated, "DOGE wanted to sell off the Minton-Capehart Building in downtown Indianapolis, but I stepped in to help save it. I'll keep voting NO on Republican cuts that hurt our community."

On March 18, 2025, Carson highlighted concerns regarding healthcare access for Medicaid recipients in Indianapolis due to proposed Republican budget plans. He tweeted that "In Indianapolis alone, over 255,000 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under Republican budget plans. That includes 122,000 children and 17,000 seniors." He emphasized his opposition by stating he voted against the funding bill because it did not protect Medicaid.

Carson reiterated this point later on the same day with another tweet: "In Indianapolis alone, over 255,000 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under Republican budget plans. That includes 122,000 children and 17,000 seniors." His consistent message reflects his commitment to safeguarding healthcare provisions for vulnerable populations.
