Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana's 2nd district since 2021, recently shared his thoughts on significant historical and political issues through a series of tweets. Known for his active role in the U.S. Congress, Carter has previously served in both the Louisiana House of Representatives and Senate.

On March 9, 2025, Congressman Carter reflected on the significance of Bloody Sunday with a tweet commemorating its 60th anniversary. He stated: "60 years ago, brave foot soldiers risked everything for the right to vote on Bloody Sunday. I was blessed to walk in their footsteps so we never have to relive their pain and suffering. We honor their legacy by protecting democracy."

The following day, March 10, 2025, he criticized Republican policies regarding veterans' welfare with a tweet that read: "Republicans are making veterans’ lives harder so they can make billionaires richer." This statement underscores his stance on economic inequality and veteran support.

Later that same day, Carter addressed recent firings under the Trump administration affecting veterans by sharing an article from CNN Politics. He tweeted: "Veterans are being hit hard by Trump administration firings | CNN Politics. Democrats are pushing back against these injustices!" His comments highlight ongoing political tensions and efforts to advocate for veterans' rights.
