About Congressman André Carson
Congressman André Carson was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in early 2008 as part of a special election and was reelected again in 2010, 2012, and 2014. He is the second Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress.
 
Congressman Carson serves on the House Transportation Committee and is a ranking member on the Subcommittee on Economic Development. His areas of focus include domestic use of drones, maintaining and improving aviation safety and developing intelligent transportation and high speed rail.
 
In January 2015, the Congressman was chosen to serve on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. He is the first Muslim American to ever do so and will work to facilitate better coordination between state and local governments and the intelligence community, privacy regulations and countering violent extremism. Most recently, the Protecting Cyber Networks Act passed which included an amendment he authored to strengthen transparency into information sharing between the private sector and government.
 
Congressman Carson will continue to work for legislation to strengthen our schools and provide a better education for our kids. In March, he introduced the Young Americans Financial Literacy Act – a bill that seeks to promote the development of effective financial literacy curricula and educational models for students ages 8-24.
