Indiana's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Indiana. It is entirely located within Marion County and includes most of Indianapolis, except for the southern side, which is located within the 6th district. The district is currently represented by Democrat André Carson, who won a special election in 2008 to succeed his grandmother Julia Carson following her death in 2007. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+19, it is the most Democratic district in Indiana. The district is one of three to be represented by a Muslim in the United States (the others being Michigan's 13th, represented by Rashida Tlaib, and Minnesota's 5th, represented by Ilhan Omar). This district and its predecessors have not elected a Republican since 1972, and it is considered a safe Democratic seat.
