(Congressional staff members related an incident in 2001, in which they recalled the freshman Representative Melissa Hart of Pennsylvania, who is white, admonishing Representative Julia Carson, who is black, that the elevator they were riding on was members-only. Ms. Carson, of Indiana, proceeded to introduce herself to her new colleague, offense taken.) [1] --Neutrality^talk 06:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 10th district -> 7th district

An anonymous editor changed the succession from Andrew Jacobs, Jr. to John T. Myers. While it is true that Myers was the last previous person to represent the district called the 7th, it is not the same district. Indiana lost a seat in 2002, and the districts were re-numbered. Carson succeeded Jacobs as the 10th district rep in 1996, and the district boundaries were re-drawn, with the new 7th being substantially the same as the old 10th. The district known as the 7th prior to 2002 was in a different part of the state and had no common territory with the new 7th. --rogerd 10:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I am going to renew my objection here. The article now lists Brian Kerns as her predecessor. Kern's 7th and Carson's 7th did not have a single constituent in common. She was originally elected to the 10th, which was represented by Jacobs, which became the 7th upon redistricting. Jacobs was here predecessor. --rogerd (talk) 13:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I've asked on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Congress, this is a general question that applies everywhere. —Random832 15:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] special election for her replacement

I think that we shouldn't list the details about the candidates for the special election. There are several candidates and such detail would only duplicate the contents of the Indiana's 7th congressional district special election, 2008 article, which is linked here. --rogerd (talk) 17:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
