Washington, D.C. – LCV Victory Fund and NRDC Action Votes announced a new digital ad buy backing Rep. Sean Casten in the IL-06 primary. Two new ads highlight NRDC Action Fund and LCV Action Fund’s endorsements of Rep. Casten in the closely watched primary and the Congressman’s support for clean energy solutions.

WATCH: “Real Solutions

WATCH: “Front Lines

“Representative Casten is the definition of a Congressional climate champion,” said Joann Saridakis, LCV Victory Fund Campaigns Director. “The last year has made it clearer than ever that we need proven pro-environment leadership in Congress in order to pass the cost saving climate and clean energy legislation our country needs – and it’s imperative that Rep. Casten wins his primary and heads back to Washington for another term to do just that.”

“Representative Sean Casten understands the climate crisis – and understands what it will take to address it,” said Jocelyn Steinberg, director of NRDC Action Votes. “We need Representative Casten’s proven leadership in Congress to address this crucial issue and build a clean-energy future.”

The new ads will run on digital platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, pre-roll video, and connected TV, in Illinois’ 6th Congressional District through the June 28 primary.
