As a scientist, clean energy entrepreneur and CEO, and now as a Member of Congress representing the western suburbs of Chicago, Congressman Sean Casten has dedicated his life to fighting climate change. Casten draws upon his previous private sector experience in Congress to craft market-based solutions to reduce emissions while creating jobs and spurring economic growth.
Casten serves on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, and is the Vice Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Investor Protection, Entrepreneurship, and Capital Markets. He also serves as Co-Chair on the New Democrat Coalition Climate Change Task Force.
Representative Casten is committed to ensuring that the men and women who have served, are serving, or will serve in the U.S. military get the resources and care they need – both at home and abroad. He knows that our veterans' service is a debt that can never be fully repaid and is a solid advocate for making sure they receive the benefits they have earned. As the son and grandson of veterans, Congressman Casten holds in highest regard men and women wear the uniform and put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms.
In Congress, he is committed to supporting programs that better enable our servicemembers to transition back into civilian life, have access to both mental and physical health care, and provide resources for our military families while their husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters are deployed.
Rep. Casten will continue to work on bipartisan policies to benefit the brave men and women who have served.
