Greg Casar's roots are deep in Austin. He started off as a community organizer for construction workers and later served as an Austin City Council member for nearly seven years. Now, he’s representing the city in Washington, D.C.
Serving parts of Travis, Hays and Bexar counties, Casar is ambitious about his first term. He’s promising to work on issues like housing, abortion rights, voting, worker wages and the climate crisis. Despite Republicans holding the majority in the House of Representatives, Casar and his fellow Democrats are optimistic.
This morning, Greg Casar will officially be selected as Whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Casar’s position as Whip, which is the number three spot in the caucus, is significant. He will be the top Texan in a leadership role, and one of the youngest members to serve in a leadership capacity for a caucus with over 100 members.
