Ep 119: Rep. Sean Casten, Illinois’ 6th Congressional District

This episode was previously for members only. In an effort to make content free, this episode is now available for everyone. Today's guest is Sean Casten, U.S. Representative of Illinois 6th Congressional District. Congressman Sean Casten is an American entrepreneur and Democratic politician, serving as the U.S. Representative for Illinois sixth congressional district. A freshmen in the 116th Congress, he is the first Democrat to represent the sixth district in nearly 50 years. We cover a lot in this episode, including Sean’s roots and how he came to care about climate change. We also discuss how his thinking on the problem has evolved from his time as a science and engineering student in college to his career as a clean energy entrepreneur to his current role as a member of Congress. I learned a lot in this one and I hope you do as well. Enjoy the show!
