The price of food, fuel, healthcare...the future of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid...civil rights and civil liberties...immigration...reproductive rights...peace in the Middle East...supplier diversity and equity. These are just some of the issues that Congress deals with and will deal with in the future.



Now more than ever, we need to re-elect Congressman André Carson. Congressman Carson has served our community in an outstanding manner since 2008, securing millions of dollars for federal projects and being stalwart in support of issues that matter at the kitchen table.



I am asking you to join me and others as a host for a fundraising event for the Congressman on Wednesday, March 19th at 11:30AM. We will hold the event at Flatiron on Penn, located at 605 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202.



Congressman Carson's vote upon his reelection in 2026 will help change the direction of the US Congress by electing a Democratic Speaker of the House. His reelection will enable us to have a proponent on issues that matter across all parts of our community. And, your support of $250 or more will help us change the direction of our nation...to benefit all of us.



I ask that you join us by donating $250 or more to support the reelection of our Congressman. If you cannot attend but want to support the Congressman, please send your donation to my address posted above. Remember, your vote and your voice still matter. 



If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].



Thank you for making a difference in what you do each day.
