(Downers Grove, IL) August 1, 2018 – Today, President Barack Obama endorsed Sean Casten, Candidate for the Sixth Congressional District in Illinois. Sean released the following statement:

“I am humbled and honored to be supported by Illinois’ own, President Barack Obama” said Casten. “Like many, I miss a President who put facts over politics, brought affordable health care to millions of Americans, protected a woman’s right to choose, and created 75 straight months of job growth.”

“And as President Obama did, I believe in representing all Americans and take pride in the fact that so many Americans of all colors, genders and political persuasions are standing up for what’s right. From the Women’s March to the March for Science to the Parkland students, we are seeing people all over the country whose response to injustice is not to fold up their tent, but rather to fight for our founding principles. The arc of history is still too long, but it continues to bend in the right direction. Obama showed us how great we can be, and I look forward to continuing to advance his – and our – collective agenda.”
