INDIANA, USA — Democratic Rep. André Carson won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Indiana on Tuesday.
Carson has served since winning a 2008 special election to succeed his late grandmother, Julia Carson.
He defeated Republican John Schmitz in the 7th District, which includes much of Indianapolis.
A senior House Intelligence Committee member, Carson was intimately involved in the first open hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon in a half-century.
He is one of three Muslims in Congress. Schmitz proposed lowering the price of gas by opening pipelines shuttered by the current administration, buying more Canadian oil, suspending gasoline taxes for a year, and more.
The Associated Press declared Carson the winner at 9:06 p.m. EST.
