Congressman Troy A. Carter, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Louisiana’s 2nd district since 2021, recently shared a series of tweets on various topics. Carter, who succeeded Cedric Richmond, has a long history of public service including roles in the Louisiana House of Representatives and the Louisiana Senate.
On March 17, 2025, Congressman Carter congratulated St. Augustine High School’s basketball team for their victory in the Division 1 State Championship. He highlighted the team’s “hard work and dedication” and gave a special mention to MVP Jakobe Shepeard. “Congratulations to @StAugnola Basketball on winning the Division 1 State Championship! This incredible achievement is a testament to hard work and dedication. A special shoutout to MVP Jakobe Shepeard! Go Purple Knights!”
Later that day, he invited his followers to join him at an unspecified event scheduled for the following day with a brief message: “Join me tomorrow!” The tweet was posted on March 17, 2025.
The next day, March 18, 2025, Carter reminded his audience about the event with another succinct post: “Happening TODAY”.
