Congressman Troy A. Carter, who represents Louisiana’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, used his Twitter account on May 13, 2026, to highlight legislative priorities and express gratitude during National Police Week.
In a post published at 13:49 UTC, Carter stated: “This #PoliceWeek, I want to thank the officers in #LA02 who protect our community with compassion. I’m committed to helping keep our neighborhoods safe, which is why I proudly introduced the Next Gen 9-1-1 Act to modernize our nation’s emergency communications systems.”
Later that day at 15:07 UTC, Carter addressed recent legislative developments in the Louisiana Senate: “While Senator Price’s SB 407 failed in committee last night, it is my sincere hope that its core principles can still be incorporated through amendments to SB 121, which did pass. As this process moves forward, I will continue advocating for fairness, equity, and representation”.
At 15:10 UTC on May 13, Carter also tagged several organizations and caucuses in a tweet without additional commentary: @PowerCoEJ @TheBlackCaucus @ACLUofLouisiana @urbanleaguela @USProgressives @NewDemCoalition @LaDemos.
Carter has represented Louisiana’s 2nd district since winning a special election in 2021 after Cedric Richmond vacated the seat. He previously served in both chambers of the Louisiana state legislature and has been active in local politics since the early 1990s. Born and residing in New Orleans, Carter holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Xavier University of Louisiana (https://www.house.gov).
