Indy Standard

André Carson, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana’s 7th district since 2008, addressed several key issues in a series of social media posts published between September 1 and September 3, 2025. Carson, who was born in Indianapolis in 1974 and previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council, used his platform to highlight worker rights, government funding concerns, and emergency preparedness.

On September 1, Carson posted a message for Labor Day: "On Labor Day, we honor the workers who keep our communities moving forward. From fair wages to safe workplaces, I will keep fighting to make sure every worker gets the dignity and respect they deserve."

The following day, Carson warned of potential consequences if Congress fails to act on government funding: "If Congress doesn't reach a deal, government funding expires at the end of the month. 

We're on the clock — and House Democrats are using every minute to save Medicaid, SNAP, and the working class." The post underscores ongoing debates within Congress regarding essential social programs such as Medicaid and SNAP.

On September 3, as severe weather approached Indianapolis—where Carson currently resides—he emphasized the importance of disaster readiness and FEMA reform: "Indianapolis is expecting a storm tonight — a reminder that we must ALWAYS be prepared to dispatch emergency FEMA resources. Today, @TransportDems are marking up the FEMA Act of 2025 to reform this essential agency and ensure we can provide lifesaving relief. 

Watch here:"

Carson has been active in public service for nearly two decades after succeeding Julia Carson in Congress. He holds a BA from Concordia University Wisconsin (2003) and continues to focus on local and national issues relevant to his constituents.
