U.S Representative Troy Carter (D)
New Orleans Democrat Troy Carter was sworn in as Louisiana’s newest U.S. House member today, replacing Cedric Richmond who represented the second district until taking a job with the Biden administration. The former New Orleans City Councilman and state lawmaker understands the importance of public service.
“I will continue to listen to the concerns, the hopes, and the dreams of my district, I will work for and be the voice of the people,” said Carter.
Carter will represent New Orleans in the U.S. House, along with portions of the River Parishes and the Baton Rouge area. He says his district has a lot of needs…COVID recovery, economic development, infrastructure investment, criminal justice reform, education, and environmental justice.
A number of Louisiana lawmakers don't believe the punishments for a couple of LSU administrators who mishandled some sexual abuse complaints were strong enough.

State lawmakers are not happy with the punishment LSU handed down following an extensive report that showed how LSU mishandled numerous sexual abuse cases. Two athletic administrators have been suspended, but during a legislative hearing on the issue, New Orleans Senator Karen Carter Peterson asked LSU officials how can they be trusted when they return to work.
“So you want to say fidelity is going to be the model moving forward, but they didn’t tell the truth and they were young people permanently harmed because they were sexually assaulted and no one listened,” said Peterson.
