I first came to Congress because of my lifelong commitment to combatting the climate crisis. Now, I'm working to lower costs and build a stronger, more resilient energy future. That's why I've introduced legislation that make energy cleaner, more affordable, and more reliable.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 25(source)
13 years ago today, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder. Shortly after, several states enacted changes restricting ballot access for minority communities. The right to vote is foundational to our democracy, and protecting it remains vital.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 24(source)
The president is now refusing to sign this into law because he wants Congress to pass a bill that would make it harder for Americans to vote. He is choosing voter suppression over making sure you can afford to put a roof over your head.

Time and again, I've heard from Americans struggling to afford a place to live. By increasing the housing supply and helping lower costs for families, this legislation represents a critical first step toward tackling our nation's housing affordability crisis. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/23/h...

Adults who provide children with harmful access to firearms must be held accountable. That’s why I introduced the Juvenile Firearms Safety Act, legislation to create federal penalties when a firearm accessed by a minor is later used in a crime, for self-harm, or to cause injury or death.

House expected to pass affordable housing bill, send it to Trump's desk
The House on Tuesday could give final passage to a bill aimed at lowering costs for homebuyers and reining in private equity.

Data centers place significant strain on our electric grid, making it harder for consumers to access reliable, affordable energy. The Energy Bills Relief Act ensures these large data centers pay their fair share and that consumers have a voice in energy policy decisions.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 22(source)
This summer, my Republican colleagues are focused on making it harder for Americans to participate in elections and advancing an extreme budget reconciliation bill that cuts critical housing and energy protections for working families.

The rot within ICE runs deep. They are set on violating both Constitutional and human rights. Our community has suffered from the agency’s repeated and catastrophic failures. There must be accountability.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 18(source)
ICE continues to violate due process and ignore the laws of the communities they terrorize. This is exactly why I voted against handing them a $70 billion check without any oversight. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/17/f...
Federal immigration agents make arrests at Bridgeview Courthouse, officials say
Federal officers detained two adults and a minor at the Bridgeview Courthouse on Wednesday, despite a state law that prohibits warrantless civil immigration arrests in and around courthouses.

Next weekend: You’re invited to celebrate the talented IL-06 artists who submitted entries to this year’s Congressional Art Competition! The Congressional Art Competition Soiree will take place Sunday, June 28th at the Willowbrook Community Resource Center. For more information, visit my website.

As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I’m working to strengthen consumer protections and promoting long-term economic resilience. This Congress, I've introduced legislation to protect consumers, hold bad actors accountable, and build a stronger financial system for everyone.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 16(source)
Behind every infrastructure project are the skilled workers that keep our economy moving. I recently toured Runnion Equipment in Hodgkins to learn more about the challenges facing equipment dealers and technicians, and to explore different ways we can strengthen career pathways into these fields.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 16(source)
Thank you to the Uber drivers from across IL-06 who joined me for a roundtable discussion on affordability, safety, and transportation challenges affecting the community. Conversations like these help me better understand the issues impacting workers and families across the district.

Public Works Departments manage water systems, infrastructure, and essential community projects. Last week, I visited the Public Works Department in Villa Park. I’m working to secure federal funding for their Twin Lakes Water Improvement Project, which will replace failing water main lines.

Mary contacted my office after struggling to get answers from the IRS about her late mother's tax return. My team worked directly with the agency to resolve the issue and secure her refund within two months. Having trouble with a federal agency? Contact my office, we're ready to help.

Illinoisans have lost devastating sums to crypto-enabled fraud. Last year, the FBI reported $333 million in losses from crypto scams. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act to strengthen consumer protections and prevent fraudsters from exploiting vulnerable Americans.
Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 10(source)
Last night, I opposed the Republican plan to hand ICE $70B on top of the $140B they approved just last year. This money could have been used to lower health care costs, restore energy tax credits, and fund school lunches. But Republicans think investing in the American people is wasteful.
