Andre Carson Wins IN-07 Special Election

DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen released the following statement on Andre Carson's special election victory in Indiana's 7th Congressional District.

Congratulations to Andre Carson on his victory tonight. He is a tireless leader for the children and working families of Indianapolis.

I am grateful to the Congressional Black Caucus, Senator Evan Bayh and Indiana's Democratic Congressional Delegation for encouraging the people of this district to vote for change by supporting Andre Carson. Andre Carson will be a tremendous asset to our Democratic Caucus as we fight to strengthen our economy, end the war in Iraq, and restore the American dream to America’s middle class families.

We look forward to working with Andre Carson and local and state Democrats to ensure a Democratic victory in November.
