A three-term legislator, Carter was the favorite of top lawmakers in the General Assembly. In the campaign, Carter emphasized increasing jobs, lowering health care costs for working families, securing America's borders, and fixing the DVA.
A conservative Republican, Carter voted against the bipartisan gun-control bill following the shooting of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Carter represented a portion of Newtown at the time and was the only lawmaker from the community to vote against the bill--saying it did not do enough to limit gun trafficking.
