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.

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.

Speaker Johnson made it clear what Republicans are targeting: Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. At the same time that he’s handing ICE with another $70 billion, Speaker Johnson wants to attack programs that actually help Americans.

Managing a loved one’s affairs after their passing can be difficult. When a Chicago constituent contacted my office for help obtaining a relative’s tax refund, we stepped in to assist. We helped navigate the process and secure the decedent’s final refund and provide the family with closure.

During his campaign, the president promised he would not drive the United States into a war. He said "years of chaos will be over." We are 102 days into his war with Iran. Now, all of a sudden, he claims he never made those promises.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.gov5d ago(source)

Republicans keep trying to pass a massive ICE bill that misses the mark. It does nothing to lower housing, energy, or healthcare costs. We only have five legislative weeks left before the August recess. I want to vote on bills that help the American people with everyday struggles. They disagree.

GOP plots third reconciliation bill as midterm clock ticks

Take a look to see what I was up to in May.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 4(source)

I was proud to visit businesses along 95th Street in Beverly for National Small Business Week last month to meet with owners and discuss ways I can continue to advocate for small businesses in Congress.

Yesterday, I voted YES on a War Powers Resolution to end the reckless war in Iran. Article I of the Constitution is clear: Congress alone has the authority to declare war. It's time Congress reclaims its constitutional role and end a conflict that has created uncertainty for American families.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 3(source)

NEWS: We succeeded in passing a resolution to end the war in Iran. The president started a war without a plan, clear endgame, legal justification, or congressional authorization. This is an important step in putting a stop to this recklessness. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-i...

House votes to rein in Trump on Iran as war loses GOP support

In May, the Senate advanced a similar measure to force the president to end the prolonged conflict with Iran.

I led a bipartisan effort with Rep. Fitzpatrick to support victims of sexual assault in public schools. Transparency in these investigations is essential to helping lawmakers evaluate how schools respond to sex-based discrimination.

NEWS: The Energy Bills Relief Act has over 150 cosponsors. House Democrats understand that American families are being burdened with skyrocketing energy prices. The Energy Bills Relief Act is how we can bring costs down while increasing energy reliability.

As a member of Congress, I am proud to secure Community Project Funding for facilities in IL-06 that improve the day-to-day lives of constituents. I recently visited UCP Seguin's community day site to continue to learn how Congress can better support the disability community and caregivers.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJun 2(source)

Last week, I met with Mayor Kyle Hastings, Village Administrator Brian O’Neill and members of the Orland Hills Public Works Commission to discuss local projects, community initiatives, and priorities for the village.

I had a great time welcoming our 2026 STEM Scholars and their families for this year’s kickoff! Looking forward to a great summer filled with learning and exploration.

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

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, community, and resilience. As your representative, I proudly stand with LGBTQI+ Americans in IL-06 and across the country.

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

Come celebrate talented and creative students from across IL-06! You are invited to join my office for this year's Congressional Art Competition Soiree at the Willowbrook Community Resource Center on Sunday, June 28.

I was thrilled to return to Brookdale Lisle for an engaging conversation with residents. I shared an update on what’s happening in DC before opening the floor to a Q&A discussion. I am thankful to the residents for bringing such sharp insight and vital perspectives to the table.
