This is Congressman Carter's fourth term to serve as Co-Chairman of the bipartisan House Army Caucus. He has been a member of the House Appropriations Committee since 2004.
Since his first election in 2002, Congressman Carter has established himself as a leader in Congress who has the foresight and courage to author and support numerous pieces of legislation that would increase the protection of U.S. citizens and bring justice to those who threaten our freedom and way of life.
Congressman Carter is one of the few House Members who has authored legislation signed into law under Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump. Less than 10% of members can claim this feat. In spite of now being a veteran Congressman, John Carter is still known as "Judge" for having served over 20 years on the district court bench in Williamson County, which he won as the first county-wide elected Republican in Williamson County history. Before becoming a Judge, Congressman Carter had a successful private law practice and continued to practice law while serving as the Municipal Judge in Round Rock.

In July 2004, President Bush held a signing ceremony for Congressman Carter's Identity Theft bill at the White House. The law lessens the burden of proof making identity theft easier to prove and prosecute and also defines and creates punishment for aggravated identity theft.
A true Texan at heart, Congressman Carter was born and raised in Houston and has spent his adult life in Central Texas. Carter attended Texas Tech University where he graduated with a degree in History and then graduated from the University of Texas Law School in 1969.Congressman Carter and his wife, Erika, met in Holland and have been happily married since June 15, 1968. Since then they have built a home and raised a family of four on Christian beliefs and strong Texas Values.

Economy and Tax Reform
Conservative tax policies are the keys to economic success! I have long believed that our tax code must lower taxes on the middle class, make American companies more globally competitive, and eliminate special-interest loopholes that complicate our tax code.
I proudly support the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which brings fiscally conservative Texas values to Washington, D.C.! This legislation will allow many Texans to bring home bigger paychecks by lowering the individual tax rates for lower and middle class Americans. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act saves Texans money by roughly doubling the standard deduction for both individuals and married couples, expanding the Child Tax Credit to assist parents with the costs associated with raising a family, and repealing the Death Tax so that families can worry less about taxes associated with passing on family-owned farms and businesses. In addition, this bill will bring more jobs to Central Texas by reducing tax rates for small businesses and corporations, allowing them to accumulate the revenue needed to hire more employees.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will greatly benefit Central Texas by promoting job creation, economic growth, and creating a tax code that everyone can understand. I look forward to working with my fellow Representatives to promote and support this landmark legislation.
