I was proud to bring together climate industry leaders, advocates, and community voices to discuss how we can tackle rising energy costs and transition to cleaner, more reliable energy.

Take a look at what I was up to throughout April.

The SNAP cuts that are coming are massive, and by slashing programs so many Americans rely on, this Administration is sending a clear message: you are not the priority. I remain committed to repealing the harmful impacts of this bill.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govMay 1(source)

The impacts of climate change are already here, and American families are feeling them. That's why I led 16 House Democrats in urging real estate industry leaders to ensure homebuyers have clear information about the climate risk associated with their homes.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govApr 30(source)

Of the more than 2 million voting-eligible U.S. citizens living overseas, only 11% vote. This highlights a deeper bureaucratic issue, one that my Military VOTE Act addresses, to ensure all Americans have full access to the ballot.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govApr 29(source)

We cannot stand idly by as the Supreme Court attacks the rights of the American people. Congress has the power to act as a check on the Supreme Court. Here's how we can use it: thehill.com/opinion/judi...

How Congress can — and must — fix the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has lost the trust of the American people due to its decisions being based on politics rather than principle, and Congress must take action to restore its integrity.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govApr 28(source)

For too long, US energy policy has put producers first and focused on keeping energy prices high. The Energy Bills Relief Act is different. This bill bridges the gap between energy consumers and energy producers to deliver the most affordable and reliable energy to the public.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govApr 27(source)

Americans across the country want expanded access to clean energy. Not because they are woke. But because they want to save money. That’s what clean energy helps us do.
