'''Robert Patrick Casey Jr.''' (born April 13, 1960) is an American lawyer and politician who is the [[Seniority in the United States Senate|senior]] [[United States Senate|United States senator]] from [[Pennsylvania]], a seat he has held since 2007. He is a member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].

Born in [[Scranton, Pennsylvania]], Casey is the son of [[Bob Casey Sr.]], a former [[governor of Pennsylvania]]. He attended the [[College of the Holy Cross]] and later received his [[Juris Doctor]] from the [[Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law|Catholic University of America]]. He practiced law in Scranton and began his political career as [[Pennsylvania Auditor General]], a post to which he was elected in 1996 and re-elected in [[2000 Pennsylvania Auditor General election|2000]], then held until 2005.

In [[2002 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election|2002]], Casey ran for governor of Pennsylvania, but was defeated in the Democratic primary by [[Ed Rendell]]. After being term-limited out of his position as auditor general, Casey ran for [[Pennsylvania Treasurer|treasurer]] in the [[2004 Pennsylvania State Treasurer election|2004 election]] which he used as a launching pad to campaign in the [[2006 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2006 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania]] defeating [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] incumbent [[Rick Santorum]]. He was reelected in [[2012 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2012]] and in [[2018 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2018]], becoming the first Democrat in Pennsylvania to win a third consecutive term in the Senate. Casey is running for reelection to a fourth term in the Senate in [[2024 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2024]].<ref>{{cite web |date=April 10, 2023 |title=U.S. Senator Bob Casey to run for re-election |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/10/politics/bob-casey-pennsylvania-reelection/index.html |accessdate=April 10, 2023 |publisher=CNN}}</ref> He is the current dean of [[United States congressional delegations from Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania's congressional delegation]].

Casey faced former [[Mayor of Philadelphia|Philadelphia Mayor]] [[Ed Rendell]] in the Democratic [[primary election]]. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party threw their support behind Casey, whom they saw as a more electable candidate than Rendell. In a bitter primary, Rendell won the nomination by winning only 10 out of 67 counties: [[Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] and its [[Delaware Valley]] suburbs ([[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks]], [[Chester County, Pennsylvania|Chester]], [[Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Montgomery]], and [[Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Delaware]]), its [[Lehigh Valley]] [[exurb]]s ([[Berks County, Pennsylvania|Berks]], [[Lehigh County, Pennsylvania|Lehigh]], and [[Northampton County, Pennsylvania|Northampton]]), [[Lancaster County, Pennsylvania|Lancaster]], and [[Centre County, Pennsylvania|Centre]], the home of [[Pennsylvania State University|Penn State University]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=15&ElectionID=6&OfficeID=3 |title=2002 General Primary, Tuesday, May 21, 2002, Official Returns, Governor, By County |publisher=Pennsylvania Department of State Elections Information |date=May 21, 2002 |access-date=September 20, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117220216/http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=15&ElectionID=6&OfficeID=3 |archive-date=January 17, 2012}}</ref> Rendell went on to win the general election.

In 2005, Casey received calls from U.S. Senator [[Chuck Schumer]] (D-NY), the chair of the [[Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee]], and U.S. Senator [[Harry Reid]] (D-NV), the [[Senate Minority Leader]], who both asked him to run for U.S. Senate in the [[2006 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2006 U.S. Senate election]] against Republican incumbent [[Rick Santorum]]. On March 5, 2005, Casey launched his campaign for the Democratic nomination. Casey's run for the Senate was his fifth statewide campaign in nine years.

Casey was almost immediately endorsed by [[Governor of Pennsylvania|Governor]] [[Ed Rendell]], his primary election opponent from [[United States gubernatorial elections, 2002|2002]].<ref>{{cite press release |title=Governor Rendell Endorses Bob Casey for U.S. Senate |date=March 4, 2005 |publisher=Bob Casey for U.S. Senate |url=http://ga4.org/senate2006/pressreleases.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050307023244/http://ga4.org/senate2006/pressreleases.html |archive-date=March 7, 2005}}</ref> He was endorsed by two Democrats who had been mentioned as possible U.S. Senate nominees: former [[United States House of Representatives|Congressman]] [[Joe Hoeffel]], who had run against Pennsylvania's other Senator, [[Arlen Specter]], in 2004, and former [[Pennsylvania Treasurer|State Treasurer]] [[Barbara Hafer]], whom many in the [[Abortion-rights movements|abortion rights movement]] had attempted to convince to run against Casey in the Democratic primary.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}

Casey's more [[Conservative Democrat|socially conservative views]] led to two challenges in the Democratic primary. His two challengers, college professor Chuck Pennacchio and pension lawyer Alan Sandals, argued that Casey's views on abortion and other social issues were too conservative for most [[Pennsylvania]] Democrats. Casey challenged this, arguing his opinions gave him cross-party appeal. He easily defeated both challengers in the May 16 primary, receiving 85% of the vote.<ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Toole |first1=James |title=Voters Guide 2006: 2 battle Casey for Democratic U.S. Senate |url=http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/06128/688317-177.stm |access-date=December 30, 2018 |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |date=May 8, 2006 |archive-date=April 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421081131/http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/06128/688317-177.stm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=PA US Senate- D Primary |url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=7362 | work=Our Campaigns | access-date=December 22, 2011}}</ref>

On election night, Casey won the race with 59% of the vote, compared to 41% for incumbent Senator [[Rick Santorum]].

Observers noted that as the election approached, Casey, an early supporter of Obama, had "started to oppose the president outright or developed more nuanced responses to events that differentiate him from Mr. Obama. Analysts say Mr. Casey wants to put some distance between himself and a president whose job approval ratings in Pennsylvania are poor".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/with-election-looming-casey-tries-to-separate-from-president-1.1219604 |date=October 18, 2011 |title=With election looming, Casey tries to separate from president |first=Borys|last=Krawczeniuk |newspaper=The Scranton Times-Tribune |access-date=February 16, 2012}}</ref>

Casey easily defeated challenger Joseph Vodvarka in the spring Democratic primary, and faced former coal company owner and Republican nominee [[Tom Smith (Pennsylvania politician)|Tom Smith]] in the fall general election. He defeated Smith on November 6, 2012, 53.7% to 44.6%, to win a second term, making him the first Democrat elected to a second term in the Senate from Pennsylvania since [[Joseph S.

On February 18, 2018, speaking to [[John Catsimatidis]] on New York radio station [[WNYM]], Casey issued a warning to [[special counsel]] [[Robert Mueller]] not to deliver a report on his findings in the [[Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections]] investigation too near to the [[2018 midterm elections]]. While saying he could not "make any assumptions about where the Mueller investigation is going," he stated that he "would recommend Mueller not release a report on his findings near the midterms," because it would "distract from elections or cause people to question the election's integrity."<ref>{{cite news |last=Delk |first=Josh |date=February 18, 2018 |title=Dem senator warns Mueller against issuing Russia report near 2018 election |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/374407-dem-senator-warns-mueller-against-issuing-russia-report-near-2018/ |website=The Hill |access-date=February 19, 2018}}</ref>

In April 2017, Casey was one of eight Democratic senators to sign a letter to President Trump noting government-subsidized Chinese steel had been placed into the American market in recent years below cost and had hurt the domestic steel industry and the iron ore industry that fed it, calling on Trump to raise the steel issue with [[President of the People's Republic of China]] [[Xi Jinping]] in his meeting with him.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.twincities.com/2017/04/06/klobuchar-franken-among-senators-asking-trump-to-press-china-on-steel/|title=Klobuchar, Franken among senators asking Trump to press China on steel|date=April 6, 2017|first=John|last=Myers|newspaper=[[St. Paul Pioneer Press]]|access-date=September 27, 2020}}</ref>

In 2024, Casey introduced two bills aimed at lowering consumer prices.

===Education===
As a candidate for State Treasurer in 2004, Casey opposed [[school vouchers]], and supported using state funds "to increase the availability of safe, quality and affordable early care and education for families that choose to use these programs".<ref name=autogenerated1/>

====Betsy DeVos and FIRE====
Casey questioned [[Donald Trump]]'s nomination of [[Betsy DeVos]] to be [[United States Secretary of Education|Secretary of Education]] on the grounds that she and her husband had donated to the [[Foundation for Individual Rights in Education]] (FIRE), which seeks to "defend individual rights on college campuses". "Ms. DeVos must fully explain whether she supports the radical view that it should be more difficult for campus sexual-assault victims to receive justice," said Casey. In an op-ed in ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', FIRE co-founder [[Harvey Silverglate]] noted that "FIRE vigorously defends the [[free-speech]] and due-process rights of college students and faculty" and that the organization "is nonpartisan and has defended students and faculty members on the left and right", making "common cause with politically diverse organizations ranging from the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] and the [[National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers]] to [[The Heritage Foundation]], [[Young Americans for Liberty]] and the [[Cato Institute]]".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Silverglate|first1=Harvey |date=January 16, 2017 |title=A Senator Fights DeVos With Fire |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-senator-fights-devos-with-fire-1484611508|newspaper=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|access-date=January 23, 2018}}</ref> Casey's position was challenged in ''[[USA Today]]'' by [[Stuart Taylor Jr.|Stuart Taylor]] and [[KC Johnson]], who pointed out that, contrary to a letter in which Casey and Sen.

In April 2019, Casey was one of thirty-four senators to sign a letter to President Trump encouraging him "to listen to members of your own Administration and reverse a decision that will damage our national security and aggravate conditions inside Central America", asserting that Trump had "consistently expressed a flawed understanding of U.S. foreign assistance" since becoming president and that he was "personally undermining efforts to promote U.S. national security and economic prosperity" through preventing the use of Fiscal Year 2018 national security funding. The senators argued that foreign assistance to Central American countries created less migration to the U.S., citing the funding's helping to improve conditions in those countries.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://thehill.com/policy/international/americas/437463-more-than-30-dem-sens-ask-trump-to-reconsider-cutting-foreign/|title=More than 30 Senate Dems ask Trump to reconsider Central American aid cuts|first=Rachel|last=Frazin|date=April 4, 2019|work=The Hill|access-date=September 27, 2020}}</ref>

===Gun policy===

On June 16, 2016, ''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported that "'pro-gun' Bob Casey" had become "an evangelist for [[gun control]] laws". After the [[Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting|Sandy Hook school massacre]] in December 2012, he had "completely flipped his views" on several gun issues, largely as a result of having been "accosted" by his wife and daughter. "Casey has since embraced every major proposal to counter gun violence," reported the ''Post'', "including a renewed ban on [[assault weapons]] and enhanced [[background checks]] before gun purchases." In the wake of the [[Orlando nightclub shooting|Orlando Pulse massacre]], he unveiled the [[Hate Crimes Prevention Act]], which would have prevented persons convicted of [[hate crimes]] from purchasing weapons. He said he had never really thought about the gun issue until Sandy Hook, "coasting along with Pennsylvania's traditional pro-gun views in a state where the [[National Rifle Association]] has held sway for decades". After Sandy Hook, he "found it unacceptable that the NRA opposed any new laws".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kane|first1=Paul |date=June 16, 2016 |title=How 'pro-gun' Bob Casey became an evangelist for gun control laws|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/06/16/how-pro-gun-bob-casey-became-an-evangelist-for-gun-control-laws/|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=January 25, 2018}}</ref>

On June 25, 2016, [[Philadelphia (magazine)|''Philadelphia'']] magazine ran an article about Casey's "profound about-face on gun control", noting that it had taken place within "a matter of days" and that Casey "was the first to introduce gun control legislation after the massacre in Orlando". Casey said that his switch had been a result of "thinking of the enormity of it, what happened to those children, which was indescribably horrific, and then having my wife and daughter say to me, 'You're going to vote on this at some point. How are you going to vote?'" He said that "I had to ask myself that question, because normally I would stay in my lane. There's only two lanes on this. It's the NRA lane, or the voting for commonsense gun measures lane. So I decided whether I was going to stay in the old lane, in which I had traveled a long time but really had never been challenged or had to cast a real big vote."<ref>{{cite news |last1=McQuade |first1=Dan |date=June 25, 2016 |title=Bob Casey's Profound About-Face on Gun Control |url=https://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/06/25/bob-casey-gun-control-interview/ |work=Philadelphia|access-date=January 21, 2018}}</ref>

In January 2019, Casey was one of six Democratic senators to introduce the American Miners Act of 2019, a bill that would amend the [[Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977]] to swap funds in excess of the amounts needed to meet existing obligations under the Abandoned Mine Land fund to the 1974 Pension Plan as part of an effort to prevent its insolvency as a result of coal company bankruptcies and the 2008 financial crisis. It also increased the [[Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972#Black Lung Disability Trust Fund|Black Lung Disability Trust Fund]] tax and ensured that miners affected by the 2018 coal company bankruptcies would not lose their health care.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.register-herald.com/health/legislation-introduced-to-secure-miners-pensions-and-health-care/article_3dea66bd-f74d-520b-abba-4bb600537361.html|title=Legislation introduced to secure miners pensions and health care|first=Wendy|last=Holdren|date=January 4, 2019|work=[[The Register-Herald]]}}</ref>

In September 2019, amid discussions to prevent a government shutdown, Casey was one of six Democratic senators to sign a letter to congressional leadership advocating for the passage of legislation that would permanently fund health care and pension benefits for retired coal miners as "families in Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alabama, Colorado, North Dakota and New Mexico" would start to receive notifications of health care termination by the end of the following month.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://wvmetronews.com/2019/09/16/manchin-colleagues-send-letter-urging-permanent-funding-for-miners-health-care-pensions/|title=Manchin, colleagues send letter urging permanent funding for miners health care, pensions|date=September 16, 2019|work=[[West Virginia MetroNews]]|first=Alex|last=Thomas|access-date=September 28, 2020}}</ref>

In January 2010, during a debate on the [[Affordable Care Act]], Casey was heckled for his handling of the abortion provisions in the health-care bill and for not taking an uncompromising [[anti-abortion]] stance. Casey was the primary sponsor of an amendment to prevent government funds from being used for abortion services, but when he tried to organize a compromise that appealed to both Democrats and the party's lone holdout (Sen. Ben Nelson), he angered some religious groups.<ref>{{cite news |first=Tony|last=Romm |url=https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/58462-casey-heckled-for-backing-healthcare-bill-despite-strong-abortion-language/ |title=Casey heckled for backing healthcare bill despite strong abortion language |work=The Hill |date=January 11, 2010|access-date=September 28, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www1.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2010/01/12/video-senator-bob-casey-verbally-harassed-by-pro-lifers|date=January 12, 2010|title=Video: Senator Bob Casey Verbally Harassed by Pro-Lifers|first=David|last=Brody |publisher=[[CBN News]]|access-date=September 28, 2020}}</ref>

===Housing===
In April 2019, Casey was one of forty-one senators to sign a bipartisan letter to the housing subcommittee praising the [[United States Department of Housing and Urban Development]]'s Section 4 Capacity Building program as authorizing "HUD to partner with national nonprofit community development organizations to provide education, training, and financial support to local community development corporations (CDCs) across the country" and expressing disappointment that President Trump's budget "has slated this program for elimination after decades of successful economic and community development." The senators wrote of their hope that the subcommittee would support continued funding for Section 4 in Fiscal Year 2020.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ktvz.com/news/wyden-merkley-urge-more-affordable-housing-funds/1069680950|title=Wyden, Merkley urge more affordable housing funds|date=April 16, 2019|work=[[KTVZ]]|access-date=April 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190418125917/https://www.ktvz.com/news/wyden-merkley-urge-more-affordable-housing-funds/1069680950|archive-date=April 18, 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Immigration laws===
Casey supported the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), a bill voted down in the [[110th United States Congress]], which would have provided a path to legal citizenship for [[Alien (law)|undocumented persons]] currently residing in the United States.

In May 2017, Casey, along with nine other senators and 13 members of the House of Representatives, requested in a letter to the [[Homeland Security Secretary]], that they stop the detention of four children and their mothers at the [[T. Don Hutto Residential Center|Berks County Residential Center]]. Many of the families had been detained there without legal recourse for more than a year and a half. Casey also personally took to social media with impassioned appeals to the White House on behalf of a Honduran 5 year old and his 25-year-old mother being held at the same facility, and were now facing deportation. They had fled violence and death threats and sought asylum in the US back in 2015, but failed their [[credible fear]] interview.  Attorneys have since been appealing their case, and the legal team was in the middle of the process of applying for [[Special Immigrant Juvenile Status]] for the child when they were awakened at 3:30AM on May 3 by [[Immigration and Customs Enforcement]] and put on a plane to Honduras.  "This child and his mother deserved better from this Administration.

In June 2019, Casey and six other Democratic senators were led by Hawaii Senator [[Brian Schatz]] in sending letters to the Government Accountability Office along with the suspension and debarment official and inspector general at the US Department of Health and Human Services citing recent reports that showed "significant evidence that some federal contractors and grantees have not provided adequate accommodations for children in line with legal and contractual requirements" and urged officials in the government to determine whether federal contractors and grantees are in violation of contractual obligations or federal regulations and should thus face financial consequences.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://mauinow.com/2019/06/26/schatz-urges-investigation-of-contractors-in-charge-of-migrant-children/|title=Schatz Urges Investigation of Contractors In Charge of Migrant Children|date=June 26, 2019 |work=Maui Now|access-date=September 28, 2020}}</ref>
