Louisville, Kentucky| district = | term_start =[January 7,
1997| succeeded = Incumbent| party =[Democratic Party (United States)| religion =
Baptist, [1938) is Member of the United States House of Representatives for . She has been a member of the House since 1997. She is the first woman and first
African American to represent the 7th District.
Life and Political Career
Carson was born in
Louisville, Kentucky. The daughter of the late Velma V. Porter and grew up in the city of Indianapolis, she worked in various positions to support her family. She graduated from Crispus Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and then at
Martin University in Indianapolis and at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
In 1965, while working as a Secretary at UAW Local 550, she was hired away by newly elected congressman
Andrew Jacobs, Jr. to do casework in his Indianapolis office. When his own electoral prospects looked dim in 1972, he encouraged Carson to run for the state House, which she did, and was duly elected to the
Indiana General Assembly in 1972, serving as a member for 4 years. In 1976, she successfully ran for the
Indiana Senate.
In 1990, she was elected as a Trustee for Center Township (downtown Indianapolis), and is responsible for running welfare in central Indianapolis. When Jacobs retired in 1996, Carson chose to run as his replacement, and won Democratic endorsement despite being heavily outspent by party chairman Ann DeLaney, 49%-31%.
In the general election she faced Virginia Blankenbaker, a state senator and stockbroker, who, like Carson, was also a grandmother with liberal views on abortion and the death penalty. Each raised a similar sum of money, but Carson won 53%-45% that November.
House Record
Carson garners a reasonably liberal voting record. However, ill health has limited her activities in Congress. She had major heart surgery in 1997, and serious pneumonia in 1999. In 2004, she missed almost 200 House votes due to illness.
Carson has a reputation for being somewhat unpredictable. Her votes in favor of normal trade relations with China and in support of the anti-terrorism bill have caused some dissatisfaction in her district. One of her notable achievements was a bill she cosponsored with Sen. Richard Lugar to remove bureaucratic bottlenecks on child health insurance.
Her poor health and voting record has caused her to face serious competition in her district. In 2002, redistricting made the area slightly more republican in nature, and faced public affairs specialist Brose McVey that year. In a heated campaign that lead to Carson leaving the stage in protest in their final pre-election debate, she won re-election 53%-44%. She faced similar competition in 2004, and although her opponent had little funds behind him, she still only won re-election 54%-44%, which has fueled speculation about the level of pro-Carson / anti-Carson polarity in the district.
Carson defeated Eric Dickerson (politician) in the United States House elections, 2006 54% to 46%.
Carson is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
She was one of the 31 who voted in the House to not count the
electoral votes from Ohio in the United States presidential election, 2004.
Concerns about her health
On September 29, 2007, The Indianapolis Star reported that Carson had been an in-patient at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana for the preceding 8 days. She was being treated for an infection in her leg near the area where a vein was removed in 1996 during double bypass heart surgery. She was admitted to the hospital under the false name of "Ann Marie Jimenez" , only adding to the mystery of her unexplained absence from regular congressional duties. Carson missed 42 of 77 votes during the month, before her hospitalization was revealed. Year-to-date, Carson has participated in 87% of the House votes.
