Congressman Andre Carson

The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recently approved Rep. Carson's FPS legislation. The Carson FPS provisions were included in Sections 12 and 13 of H.R. 6194, the Real Estate Assets and Leasing Reform (REAL) Act. This bill reforms programs at the General Services Administration (GSA)’s Public Building Service, which manages federal buildings across the country. The Committee approved $45,950,000 for repairs, renovations and upgrades to safety systems at the Bean Federal Center in Indianapolis, which is the second largest federal building in the country.

Rep. Carson joined a rally in front of the Supreme Court recently after the Court upheld President Trump’s Muslim ban. As one of two Muslims in Congress, Rep. Carson called the decision 'a shameful sanctioning of discrimination, and one that history will judge harshly.'
