MoveOn is proud to endorse Rep. Greg Casar for reelection in Texas’s 37th Congressional District!

Leadership and Experience

A former labor organizer and the son of Mexican immigrants, Greg has spent his career building power for working people. Before his election to Congress in 2022, he served for seven years on the Austin City Council, where he became a national leader in progressive policy. There, he authored and passed groundbreaking legislation, including paid sick leave ordinances in Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio, and championed bold programs for affordable housing and tenant protections against corporate abuse.

In Congress, Greg serves as the Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, leading more than 100 members in the fight to prioritize people over corporate interests. In his first term, he successfully pushed for the introduction of the first-ever federal heat rule to protect millions of American workers and authored legislation to connect the Texas power grid to the national grid to prevent future blackouts.
