October 24, 2022 - Illinois Rep. Sean Casten has not done much in Congress other than use his position to lobby for the federal subsidies that made his family wealthy, co-sponsor anti-police legislation, vote against banning fentanyl and vote for every bill that caused inflation to sky-rocket. In other words, he is a backbench legislator and a 100% reliable roll-call vote for Nancy Pelosi’s agenda.
Now, after she pulled House Majority PAC money out of IL-06, Casten is clearly desperate and the Speaker appears to be panicked. On Friday, Pelosi flew in to join Casten at an event in Downers Grove, as it appears his bid for re-election is in serious jeopardy. The premise of the event was a discussion about how at-risk abortion rights are. Abortion is still taxpayer-funded and legal up to birth in Illinois.
Pekau responded to the visit saying, "I welcome the Speaker to the new Sixth District. It was nice of her to kick off Sean Casten’s farewell tour. The Speaker’s attempt to distract people from what has happened on Sean Casten’s watch is not going to work. Casten has been in Congress for four years. He’s done nothing except push bills to line his own pockets, and vote for every piece of legislation that has made us less safe and more poor.
“Voters in this district also know that, as mayor, I worked with local and federal law enforcement to reduce crime and keep them safe. They know I reduced debt, brought in businesses, lowered their taxes, and improved their bottom line. For the families and businesses in this district, the Casten-Pelosi -Far-Left agenda is over, and the voters are going to prove it on November 8.”
