Across Indianapolis, a growing number of people are walking or biking to get around instead of driving. This not only reduces time spent sitting in traffic—it promotes fitness and reduces emissions. In recognition of the need to expand our system of urban paths and trails throughout Downtown Indianapolis, Congressman Carson worked with former Mayor Ballard to secure $20.5 million in federal funding for the completion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. The connectivity provided by the Cultural Trail is expected to have a total economic benefit of more than $800 million and will create more than ten thousand jobs—all through direct construction, private sector investment and an expansion of tourism.

Since the Congressman’s election to Congress, he has repeatedly voted for critical funding to help the State of Indiana and the City of Indianapolis repair its aging roads, highways and bridges. Unfortunately, one of its best options for making true improvements to its transportation system has been blocked by partisan games. Congress needs to pass a long-term surface transportation reauthorization bill immediately so that cities like Indianapolis can begin making the improvements that will attract employers and put Hoosiers back to work.

Twelve million undocumented immigrants in the United States are living in the shadows, and as a result of their status face immense challenges. The creation of a rigorous path to citizenship for these individuals, as well as the expansion of legal visa programs, would keep families together and be in keeping with America’s values. It would also strengthen our economy and security. Congressman Carson has been a consistent supporter of a pathway to citizenship, including the 13-year path laid out in recent bipartisan reform legislation. While this legislation has not yet passed, Congressman Carson remains committed to achieving comprehensive reform in the near future.

For many low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, Medicaid is a lifeline. Thanks to Indiana’s Medicaid expansion (HIP 2.0), nearly 400,000 Hoosiers now have health care coverage. However, burdensome restrictions—like work requirements—have made it harder for some to access care. Now, extreme MAGA Republicans have proposed the largest Medicaid cut in history. Congressman Carson has consistently voted NO on Republican attempts to slash Medicaid, and he will continue to hold the line to save this vital program.

Geographically, Indianapolis lies roughly halfway between Chicago and Louisville. The close proximity of these major metropolitan areas led me to successfully work with the Transportation Secretary to have the Department of Transportation officially designate a high-speed rail corridor—making it eligible for future federal funding. In addition to creating thousands of high paying jobs, such a high-speed rail line would boost commerce and tourism and reduce congestion on Indiana highways. Going forward, Congressman Carson will continue to press DOT and his colleagues on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to make high speed rail a reality in Indiana. While Carson is a strong supporter of high-speed rail, he understands how critical it is to maintain and expand our conventional passenger rail capacity. He has always been a strong advocate for Amtrak and legislation that creates jobs at the Beech Grove facility. This includes the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, through which Beech Grove was awarded over $32 million to continue servicing the Amtrak rail system. He was proud to join Vice President Joe Biden in announcing this award at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. This influx of funding created over 80 jobs and helped put Indy’s Amtrak facility on track to service America’s needs well into the future.

The exact official service window begins 2008-03-13, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2008-03-13. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
