If elected, Greg Casar is a progressive who will add to our Democratic Majority in Congress.
Greg is the son of Mexican immigrants, a labor and community organizer, a proud AFSCME-1624 member, the youngest person ever elected to the Austin City Council, and national co-chair of Local Progress. Before being elected to City Council, he was an organizer and then Policy Director at Workers Defense Project, Texas’ immigrant worker center. As an organizer, he organized to win improved working conditions from major construction companies and also won historic labor policy protections from Austin City Hall. Greg believes, To truly take care of Texas and protect civil and constitutional rights, we need to override officials like Abbott through federal legislation, door-to-door organizing, and a stronger labor, environmental justice, and racial justice movement. Working Texans deserve a progressive champion who will fight and deliver for Medicare For All, good jobs, reproductive rights, a functional electric grid, and a better Texas.
