INDIANAPOLIS — The grandson of late U.S. Rep. Julia Carson, who died in December, won a special election Tuesday to succeed her, keeping the seat in Democratic hands.
With 73 percent of 445 precincts reporting, Andre Carson had about 53 percent of the vote, compared with about 44 percent for Republican Jon Elrod. Carson, who is set to become the second Muslim ever elected to Congress, will represent a district that covers most of Indianapolis for the remainder of the year.
