Congressman Andre Carson

Congressman Carson issued the following statement after he was named the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Congressman Carson will also sit on the Strategic Technologies and Advanced Research Subcommittee.

Congressman André Carson was sworn in for his sixth full term earlier this month. The Congressman looks forward to continuing to serve Hoosier families.

In July, 17 people including nine Hoosiers drowned after their duck boat sank in Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri. Sadly, more could have been done to prevent this tragedy. That's why Congressman Carson recently introduced a bill that would require companies to implement recommendations from the NTSB to help improve the safety of amphibious passenger vehicles, like duck boats.
