I recently joined the Chicago River Clean Up Day at the Lucas Berg Nature Preserve in Worth and the Cal Sag Channel in Crestwood with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. Keeping our local waterways clean is vital to protect our region’s most important natural resources.

Reforming the Supreme Court is not a partisan issue, it is a constitutional issue. We have to ensure all three branches of government respect the balance of power laid out in the Constitution.

Yesterday, I attended American Legion Post 991’s Memorial Day Service in Worth. I was honored to lay a wreath at the Eternal Flame at Veterans’ Memorial Park to pay tribute to the brave servicemembers who gave their lives in defense of our nation.

Today, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Callais, I'm fighting for voting rights. As my late colleague Elijah Cummings used to say, we are better than this.

Maria reached out to my office after unsuccessful attempts to obtain her work authorization card from USCIS. My team stepped in to resolve the issue, because no one should have to navigate government red tape alone. Having trouble with a federal agency? Reach out to my office, we’re ready to help!

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, I’ll be hosting a webinar next Monday at 7 PM CT with Rep. Robin Kelly and special guests to discuss voting rights. Register to learn more about the decision and hear what comes next. bit.ly/42GE2Ib

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 joined the La Grange Business Association and Village President Kuchler for a roundtable and walking tour of downtown La Grange, meeting with local business leaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing small businesses.

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.
