Rep. André Carson's Statement on the Passing of Rep. Donald Payne
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman André Carson (D-IN) released today the following statement after the news of the passing of Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ):
I am deeply saddened to learn of Congressman Payne's passing. Rep. Payne possessed an unwavering commitment and dedication to all those he served, devoting his entire professional life to the pursuit of justice and equality for his neighbors near and far.
STATEMENT HONORING THE LIFE OF CONGRESSMAN DONALD PAYNE
From my first days in Congress, I always considered Donald Payne to be a mentor and friend.
He took me and others under his wing and showed us what it means to truly be a Member of Congress—not just a politician.
He showed me, like he showed so many in this Chamber, how much more we accomplish through humility and cooperation than through bravado and partisanship.

RECOGNIZING THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS FOR ITS OUTSTANDING WORK IN HOSTING SUPER BOWL 46
I rise to congratulate the great City of Indianapolis—my hometown—for doing an outstanding job as host of Super Bowl 46.
On Sunday, two teams played an incredible game.
But I believe that the events leading up to kickoff—organized by countless community organizations, good corporate citizens, committed public leaders, and thousands of volunteers—were as impressive as any play on the field.
