I testified today before the Louisiana State Senate to make one thing very clear: Louisiana needs two majority-minority districts. Math is math, and I will not allow the voices of Black voters in our state to be silenced.

Please join me TODAY, May 8, 2026 at the Louisiana State Capitol as we make our voices heard. TODAY 9:00am Baton Rouge.

Your vote matters, your voice matters... we will not go back!

Today’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is a devastating blow to the promise of equal representation in our democracy. This decision will embolden efforts to dismantle majority-Black districts and fracture communities that have finally begun to see themselves reflected in their government. The fight is not over.

SB 256 Does NOT represent our democracy!

No on any bill that seeks to abolish an office before a duly elected official is even sworn in. The people have already spoken. To undo their will is to undermine our democracy. What’s happening to Calvin Duncan is unconscionable and undemocratic.

Today I was honored to speak before the Democratic Leadership at the General Session of the Democratic National Committee Spring Meeting in New Orleans.

“The south is where some of the greatest struggles for justice for American history were fought!” “There is legislation making its way through the Capitol to take away elective offices where people were duly elected by the people!” “We don’t always have the votes, but we always have our voice!”

Join me in spreading the word, “we cannot support Un-American Acts!”

I’m grateful that my dear friend and mentor, Congressman Clyburn, has decided to seek re-election and continue his distinguished service in the People’s House! America is better because of Jim Clyburn!

A special thank you to all who stand behind the badge to ensure that we are safe. No one can imagine the sacrifices that not only the officer but the family makes when a loved one works in law enforcement. I pray nothing but blessings over each and one of your lives. - TC

Preparations are being made for Congressman Troy Carter’s Annual Toy Giveaway to be held at Alice Harte Charter School, 5300 Berkley Drive in New Orleans, at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 20, 2025. This event aims to aid underserved families who need assistance with providing their children with toys for Christmas and sharing holiday joy with those who very well may have nothing during this time of year. This event is one of Congressman Carter’s many community projects that are available to the public free of charge. Children must be present with a parent or guardian, and toys will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

This event is produced in partnership with InspireNOLA Charter Schools, Walmart, New Orleans-Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association, LJC Management d/b/a McDonald’s, and other community partners.
