this district is probably just out of reach except for extraordinary circumstances. The only reason the Republican ran close last time was because of the incumbents poor health.
God bless her and her family. May she rest in peace.
I am not so sure her health was the only reason it was close. But it should have been the extra reason she was defeated. As it turns out, she has only cast a few votes since she was re-elected.
Indianapolis has taken a hard right in the past year as a result of local government and the representation there of. Indy is much of her district. Ms. Carson was one of those that was pushing hardest left for many years. She won her election, I believe, as a result of the representative boundaries that are her district.
It is not my place to judge her personally and I believe she is as much of God's family as any other mortal. Her beliefs and mine are diametrically opposite. For the good of her constituency, however, the most honorable thing she could have done would have been to resign instead of run for reelection. Her motives seemed purely political. And that is not judging her person or soul. It is stating my opinion of her professional expertise.
Again, Rest in Peace.
