André Carson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Indiana's 7th district since 2008, shared updates on his recent activities and concerns through social media posts on May 20, 2025. Carson, who succeeded Julia Carson in this role and previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council from 2007 to 2008, is actively engaging with constituents and advocating for critical federal programs.

In a post made at 18:11 UTC, Carson announced that his office would be present in Pike Township for an event called "Congress on Your Corner." He invited residents to connect with his team for assistance with federal agencies, government programs, or resolving federal casework.

Later that day at 23:21 UTC, Carson highlighted the plight of three Indianapolis residents—Arica, Carol Ann, and Bethany—who have reached out to his office due to cuts in Medicaid and food assistance. He urged his colleagues to consider these individuals' situations along with those of the estimated 14 million others potentially affected by such cuts.

Shortly after at 23:23 UTC, he reaffirmed his commitment to supporting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and Medicaid, indicating a continued dedication to these essential services.

Born in Indianapolis in 1974 and currently residing there, André Carson graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
