Throughout my professional life, I’ve worked at the highest levels of state and national Democratic politics, including serving in the Obama Administration at the U.S. Department of Justice. Whether it was working on civil rights or leading national outreach efforts at the Obama Foundation to reimagine policing, I’ve focused on bringing people together to solve tough challenges.
I also believe education is a cornerstone of opportunity. After graduating from Cornell, Harvard, and George Washington University Law School, I dedicated my career to advancing policies that expand access to resources, build safer neighborhoods, and create economic opportunity.
Now, I’m running for Congress to bring that experience home. Indianapolis deserves leadership with the vision and determination to take on our toughest challenges and deliver results for every Hoosier.- A Seat That’s Not Delivering
Rep. Andre Carson is consistently ranked as one of the least effective members of Congress by the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking.
Seventeen years in office. No leadership role. No legislative impact. And in a moment this urgent, that’s a seat being wasted.
Indianapolis deserves stronger, more accountable representation—someone who can do more for the people who live here. - Party Infrastructure Is Collapsing in Indiana When Democrats were winning statewide, it was because Indianapolis was organized—it anchored turnout and built the bench.

George is running to rebuild it—not just to win this race, but to help bring Indiana Democrats back to life.
- This Isn’t Left vs. Right—It’s Decline vs. Direction The real divide in the Democratic Party isn’t about age or ideology. It’s between those managing decline—and those building what comes next. Rep. Carson believes our institutions mostly work—and that the job of a Democrat is to defend them. For him, fighting back means standing behind Chuck Schumer at a press conference. George believes that when Democrats win back power, we won’t be walking into the same government. Trump and Musk are actively dismantling public systems. The task ahead isn’t just to protect what’s left—it’s to build something better than what we had. That’s the difference. And that’s why this race matters.
and still falling behind. Wages haven’t kept up. Housing is unaffordable. Public safety is inconsistent. And a political system that’s supposed to serve the people too often serves itself instead.
The problem isn’t that solutions don’t exist. It’s that the people in charge haven’t acted.
The Fair Shot Agenda is a plan to change that. It’s about getting government back to work—for the people who
