Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district since 2021, shared a series of messages on May 11, 2025, addressing personal and political matters. Congressman Carter’s communications reflect his ongoing engagement with both personal reflections and significant policy issues.
On Mother’s Day, Congressman Carter extended heartfelt wishes to mothers everywhere. He wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who uplift and guide us. A special Happy Mother’s Day to my own mother, Momzy, an incredible rock and light in our family’s lives.” This message was posted at 13:42 UTC.
Later that day at 14:21 UTC, Congressman Carter addressed concerns regarding proposed cuts to Medicaid by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). He stated “The CBO says cutting Medicaid’s federal match to states like Louisiana could gut $860B & force 5.5M off healthcare. That’s not reform—it’s cruelty. States will either pay more or drop people. I’m fighting to protect Medicaid. Healthcare is a right.” The tweet was marked with hashtags #ProtectMedicaid and #LA02.
At 14:44 UTC, another tweet from Congressman Carter discussed the critical role of provider taxes in funding healthcare systems in Louisiana. The post quoted Levine saying “While low-hanging fruit, provider taxes are legal, carefully scrutinized by federal authorities, and essential financing for health care…Louisiana’s health care system would literally crash if they cut these provider taxes.”
Congressman Troy A. Carter has been active in public service since his time in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1992-1994 and later as a member of the Louisiana Senate from 2016 until he joined Congress in 2021.
