“The State of Indiana and our nation will long be indebted to Congresswoman Carson, a devoted and trail-blazing public official who served in county, state and federal office for more than 35 years.  Congresswoman Carson has always been a strong advocate for equality, fairness and self-reliance, and her life is a testament to those important values.  In Congress, Julia has fought tirelessly for those who are less fortunate.

 

“As Julia makes this difficult decision, the thoughts and prayers of her colleagues in Congress are with her and her loved ones.”
