Fighting for Indiana's 7th District. Official account. #Indianapolis #Indy.
Our communities deserve results. That's why I fight hard in DC to deliver for Indianapolis, like 22 of my bills signed into law and $1 billion secured for our city.

Camp Atterbury in Indiana will be used for ICE detainment. ICE is ripping families apart for offenses as minor as traffic tickets, and others are detained without having committed any crime at all. Read my full statement: carson.house.gov/media/press-re…
Civil rights protections were enacted to provide fairness for all, especially in education. The president has unjustly thrown out thousands of civil rights complaints & fired investigators. This cannot stand.
The Education Department has dismissed thousands of civil rights complaints this year at an "unheard of" pace. politico.com/news/2025/07/0…
15 people have died of starvation in Gaza in the past 24 hours — including a 6-week-old baby. Mothers and fathers have no food or water to survive or feed their children. Families waiting in line for humanitarian aid are being indiscriminately shot. This is a moral catastrophe.…
We cannot allow this Hoosier facility to be turned into another Alligator Alcatraz.
Reminding gun owners to secure their guns is no different than reminding drivers to buckle up — it’s commonsense. I introduced the Gun Safety Incentive Act with @RepAndreCarson & @RepLucyMcBath that includes a 10% tax credit for certified gun safes. robinkelly.house.gov/media-center/p…
Indianapolis is proud to be home to the @IndianaFever, and we’re proud to host this year’s @WNBA All-Star Weekend! Here’s what to know before you go: wnbaallstar2025.com/know-before-yo…

Public media saves lives, educates our kids, and keeps local journalism alive. Senate Republicans voted to drastically slash its funding. I oppose these reckless cuts. Our communities can’t afford to be left in the dark.

I authored a requirement for secondary cockpit barriers on new aircraft — but @USDOT hasn’t implemented these requirements yet. I pressed @SecDuffy on what's taking so long. I’ll be following up to make sure these post-9/11 safety requirements are implemented. It's past time.
Tune in ⬇️
Instead of building on the historic transportation investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Trump Administration is holding transportation funding hostage. Today, @TransportDems will hold @SecDuffy accountable. youtube.com/watch?v=Gn23BQ…
Sayfollah Musallet was a 20-year old American of Palestinian descent. He worked at his family's ice cream shop in Tampa. He's been described as kind and compassionate. He was beat to death by Israeli settlers while visiting his family in the West Bank. Any American citizen…
Today, @TransportDems will hold a markup for the bipartisan Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025. Stay tuned to follow along. youtube.com/watch?v=Xt3ooV…
Crowded. Unsanitary. Bug-infested. That's how U.S. officials have described "Alligator Alcatraz" — when they've been able to enter. This administration wants to hide. We need to keep exposing them.
Indianapolis, these are not normal times. In my latest @IndyRecorder column, I lay out why President Trump’s actions are dangerous, unlawful, and a direct threat to our democracy. From mass deportations to attacks on civil rights, it is clear we cannot stay silent.…
Calling our colleague @Ilhan a “Muslim terrorist” is Islamophobic, disrespectful, and dangerous. There are about 4.5 million Muslims nationwide. Muslims reside in every Congressional district, but Islamophobic incidents are rising – thanks in large part to rhetoric like this.

My annual Job & Resource Fair with @IvyTechCC is happening next month. If you’re an employer or local organization, we’re still accepting vendors! Learn more: ivytech-csm.symplicity.com/events/627e002…
This Fourth of July, we reflect on the ideals that shaped our nation and the work to be done to fully realize them. Liberty, justice, and equality must belong to us all.

Indiana will lose $23 billion in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/03/rep…
