WASHINGTON — Today, at 1:42AM EST, Congressman Greg Casar was officially sworn in to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 118th Congress.
“It’s time to get to work for Texans and for working families across America,” said Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas). “But we’re not doing this work alone. I’m proud to be part of a growing movement of Texans who are committed to protecting our democracy, restoring abortion rights, raising wages, and tackling the climate crisis.
“While House Republicans continue to embrace authoritarianism and division, we stand united for a democracy that works for working Americans. No matter what reckless right-wing dysfunction lies ahead, I remain focused on serving our constituents.”
Casar represents Texas’s 35th Congressional District, which runs down I-35 from East Austin to Hays County to the West Side of San Antonio. He will serve as the Whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus this session, the third-highest-ranking position of the group.
