This Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m proud to lead legislation improving mental health resources in aviation. Our pilots and air traffic controllers deserve access to the support they need. I’m glad to see my bipartisan legislation pass the House and look forward to Senate passage.

Democracy does not erode overnight. It erodes when those elected to defend it choose silence instead. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to push back against judicial overreach. As a member of this legislative body, I chose to stand up and do exactly that.

Just in: Donald Trump finally telling the truth and openly admitting he does not care about your finances. Since we’re on a truth-telling streak, would the president also care share why families are paying more for groceries, healthcare, and energy while his billionaire friends are cashing in?

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 14(source)

Congress must use its constitutional power to act as a check on a Supreme Court set on stripping rights away from Americans.

It was an incredible honor to meet the Artemis II crew and commend them for the historic mission they took on behalf of our country and our planet.

Since the start of the president’s illegal war in Iran, Illinois drivers have seen gas prices rise by nearly 40%, worsening the affordability and energy challenges families are already facing. Speaker Johnson, when are we going to start voting to lower prices for the American people?

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 13(source)

This week, instead of voting on bills to lower grocery, housing, health care, or energy costs, Speaker Johnson has chosen to focus on partisan, fear-driven legislation. That’s where things stand in Congress right now: no action to lower costs for working families, just more political theater.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 12(source)

Congressional Republicans want to hand ICE a $38.2 billion check with little oversight or accountability. Instead of investing taxpayer dollars in Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, or lowering energy costs, my Republican colleagues are sending a clear message: you are not the priority.

I joined the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce for a walking tour of the Spring Road Business District to hear directly about the challenges and opportunities facing small businesses in IL-06. From family-owned staples to locally-owned businesses, small businesses continue to drive our local economy.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 12(source)

I recently toured Finkbiner Equipment, a family-owned manufacturing facility in Burr Ridge. Finkbiner Equipment has been serving the community since 1963. We had a meaningful discussion about how technology is impacting their industry and the opportunities to build the next generation of workers.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 11(source)

I recently met with UCAN Chicago to discuss the needs of children and families across Illinois, including behavioral health, youth development, and child welfare. UCAN provides support for historically underrepresented families, including violence prevention, foster care, and therapeutic services.

Yesterday, I toured small businesses in Western Springs including Ella’s Italian Pub, Village True Value Hardware, United Home Loans, Hillgrove Tap, and Mattix Music Studio. Small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy, Small Business Week is a great time to celebrate and support them.
