Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana's 2nd district, has recently expressed his views on several important issues through a series of tweets. Serving in the U.S. Congress since 2021, Carter continues to engage with constituents and the public on matters concerning democracy, workers' rights, and public health.

On February 6, 2025, Congressman Carter emphasized the importance of the U.S. Constitution in governance by stating: "I carry this pocket Constitution as a constant reminder that we are a nation governed by laws, not individuals. Our Constitution matters. Human rights matter. We are a democracy—not an oligarchy or dictatorship. It is our duty to protect and uphold it."

The following day, February 7, 2025, he commented on a judicial decision affecting federal workers: "A judge has temporarily blocked @POTUS’ attack on federal workers. This is a victory in our fight to defend the rights and livelihoods of public servants, but the fight is far from over. I will continue working to protect YOU!" This statement reflects his ongoing commitment to defending public servants' rights.

Later that same day, Congressman Carter addressed public health concerns related to National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day: "On National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I reaffirm my commitment to ending the stigma and expanding access to treatment. Especially amid attacks on @CDCgov, we must address the disproportionate impact on Black communities through awareness and equitable healthcare." His focus remains on tackling health disparities within Black communities.
