Congressman Troy A. Carter

We’re just one day away from the expiration of #ACA tax credits, a lifeline for thousands of families and small business owners. It didn’t have to be this way. I urge my Republican colleagues to do the right thing and join me on the House Floor next week to extend these lifesaving credits.

Congratulations to my dear friend and lifelong New Orleanian, @WendellPierce, on achieving his annual “trifecta” goal of acting in a television show, a film, and a stage play all in the same year. He’s completing that incredible accomplishment by taking on the role of Othello. Wendell continues to be a true inspiration and a shining example of the extraordinary talent that comes out of #LA02. Louisiana couldn’t be more proud.

The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy – and I will fight against its weakening. I will continue advocating for fairness, equity, and representation that truly reflect the voices of our community. I held my first in a series of town halls focused on voting rights and redistricting – stay tuned for more dates.

Happy 100th birthday to Mrs. Mable Harris Thomas! Mrs. Thomas is a lifelong Louisianian who has given so much to our communities, including fighting for fair wages and equity in our public school systems. Mable also worked for 31 years with @assumptionk12 and @JPschools. She is loved by her family, her church, her sisters in @dstinc1913, and our entire community. We are better because of her. Happy Birthday!

While Senator Price’s SB 407 failed in committee last night, it is my sincere hope that its core principles can still be incorporated through amendments to SB 121, which did pass. As this process moves forward, I will continue advocating for fairness, equity, and representation that truly reflects the demographics and voices of our great state. troycarter.house.gov/media/press-re…

This #PoliceWeek, I want to thank the officers in #LA02 who protect our community with compassion. I’m committed to helping keep our neighborhoods safe, which is why I proudly introduced the Next Gen 9-1-1 Act to modernize our nation’s emergency communications systems.

With new work reporting requirements set to begin in 2027, too many eligible Americans risk losing their Medicaid coverage because of unnecessary red tape. States like Louisiana are already working hard to help families stay covered, which is why I’m proud to introduce the Medicaid Outreach and Assistance for Communities Act of 2026 with @RepMcClellan. This bill gives states the resources they need to continue and expand that work so no one falls through the cracks. No one should lose their health care because of paperwork or bureaucracy.

I’m proud to announce the finalists of this year’s Congressional Art Competition and celebrate the incredible talent of young artists across #LA02! Thank you to @flyneworleans for helping recognize these outstanding students and their creativity. This year’s winning artwork will be displayed in the United States Capitol, and for the first time ever, all finalists’ works will also be displayed in Concourse A at MSY.  Congratulations to our winner, “Afro-futuristic Hairstyle” by Lauryn Landers from @NOCCA. Lauryn drew inspiration from her own hairstyles to create a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and self-expression. Congratulations again to all of this year’s finalists!

“We are not simply fighting over maps and districts. We are fighting over whether every voice will truly be heard and every vote counted.” —TAC

The voices of Black voters are under attack, but we will not be intimidated, we will not be discouraged, and we will not go backward. We will organize. We will educate. We will mobilize. We will vote. And we will continue fighting for a Louisiana and an America where every citizen’s voice matters. This was the first in a series of town halls I’ll be hosting on voting rights and redistricting. Follow me and sign up for my newsletter at TroyCarter.House.Gov for future dates.

Doors open at 6:30!

In the aftermath of Louisiana V. Callais, the right to vote is under attack. And not just in Louisiana, but across the country. Join me on May 11th for the first in a series of town halls to talk about protecting the cornerstone of democracy — voting.

To all the moms and mother figures in #LA02, thank you for your love and support. Happy Mother’s Day!

MONDAY AT 8PM: Rep. Troy Carter (D-LA) holds a town hall meeting in New Orleans on Louisiana GOP mid-decade congressional redistricting efforts, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act. @cspan, online & cspan now app c-span.org/event/public-a…

Today, I testified at the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee as they consider redrawing our congressional maps. I believe in … A Louisiana that is stronger when every voice matters. A Louisiana that is richer because of its diversity. A Louisiana built on the promise of a multiracial democracy. We do that with two districts where Black voters have a meaningful chance to elect their candidate of choice. Watch my remarks: #lalege @lademos @louisianasenate @LouisianaHouse @TheBlackCaucus @HouseDemocrats

It was great to join @ltgrusselhonore and Dr. Monique Guillory for a fireside chat on the importance of empowering our young people and future leaders to protect our democracy. Thank you to @du1869 for having me. Let’s continue the fight for justice.

The right to vote is under attack. I’ll be at the Louisiana State Capitol tomorrow speaking up for fair representation. Come out TODAY at 9 AM and make your voice heard. #LouisianaVCallais #lalege
