Rep. Carson, André [D-IN-7]* 03/31/2025

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Congress.gov lists Carson as an original cosponsor of H.R.2486, an active-session bill to expand LIHEAP; the bill remained referred to House committees, so it documents effort but not enactment.
