Downers Grove, IL — Today, U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (D-IL) announced he has been endorsed by 314 Action Fund in his re-election campaign.

“From fighting to ensure a science-first response to the coronavirus pandemic to voting to uphold the Paris Climate Agreement, Rep. Sean Casten has been remarkable in his advocacy for evidence-based policymaking,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “In 2018, we were proud to help elect Sean to the U.S. House for the first time. We look forward to helping him continue his important work to combat the climate crisis and other pressing science issues of our time.”

“I am honored to be endorsed by 314 Action Fund, which works to put more scientists into elected office,” said Rep. Sean Casten. “Whether it’s solving our climate crisis, lowering the cost of healthcare, or safely reopening our economy, science & data need to be at the core of our public policy. As a biochemical engineer and former CEO, that’s what I’ve been focused on in Congress and why I am so grateful to have 314 Action Fund in this fight with me.”
