A Note from Congressman Carson
Dear Friend:
Our city is filled with incredible people, organizations and opportunities. It's a place where people work together for the common good – a place where we know we can meet every challenge before us. And most importantly, it's a community in the truest sense of the word.
That's why I love coming home. And for the last week, I've had the opportunity to spend time with the people and local organizations that make this place so special. Whether it's our business owners in Speedway, our seniors on the southwest side, or our inspiring young people, this is a place we can be proud of. It's a place worth fighting for.
I know we have many challenges before us, challenges that weigh heavily on all our minds. Know that I'm working every day to meet them, and I'm carrying your voice with me every step of the way. Have a great holiday weekend, and as always, let me know if there is anything I can do to serve you better.
Best,
André
The Inside Scoop
Dallara IndyCar Factory and Jobs on Indy's Westside
Congressman Carson this week visited the Dallara IndyCar Factory in Speedway to learn more about their operations in Indiana's 7th District and to meet with leaders and staff. CEO and General Manager Stefano dePonti, along with IndyCar Experience's Scott Jasek, shared that the facility, which is part factory – part educational experience, is in the midst of creating 80 jobs for the district and hopes to strengthen technological education here in Marion County as well.
