It’s called the ‘Casey Cartel’ because like Biden, Bob Casey gets elected, and his family gets richer. Casey and his family have spent decades cashing in on his Senate office and rigging the system to work for them. From shady backroom deals to getting rich off his campaign slush fund, the Casey Cartel puts themselves ahead of Pennsylvanians every time.
Casey Cartel: Bob Casey is Using his Position to Benefit Himself and his Family
Bob Casey is using his position to benefit himself and his family.
“Sen. Bob Casey’s campaigns have funneled more than half a million dollars to a printing company owned by his sister and brother-in-law, raising ethics questions about a family business arrangement spanning more than 20 years. Casey (D-Pa.), 62, has spent more than $500,000 on services from Universal Printing Company over the course of his nearly three-decade political career — more than $200,000 of which was paid between 2005 and 2022 by Bob Casey for Senate, Inc., according to Federal Election Commission filings.” (New York Post, 3/1/23)
Bob Casey’s brother is a registered lobbyist who has pushed Casey’s agenda.
“CASEY’S BROTHER REGISTERS TO LOBBY: Patrick Casey, the brother of Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey who joined Dentons Global Advisors Government Relations last year as a partner, registered to lobby in the fall, and reported lobbying the Senate on issues ranging from implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act to online travel policies last year, disclosures show.” (Politico, 2/22/23)
Bob Casey received hundreds of thousands of dollars from his brother’s law firm while allowing the firm to hand-pick judicial nominations.
“Sen. Bob Casey’s political campaign has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from his brother’s personal injury law firm over the past 15 years — and the lawmaker has tapped one of its partners to help him nominate federal judges. Attorneys and staff at Philadelphia-based Ross Feller Casey, LLP, have donated $222,566 to Bob Casey for Senate since 2008, federal election filings show, of which more than $85,000 arrived this past April — the largest contribution to date…Casey (D-Pa.) also has twice picked one of those partners, Robert Ross, to co-chair a panel that helped confirm dozens of federal judges in the Keystone State.” (New York Post, 8/20/23)
Bob Casey steered $200k in federal funds to his lobbyist brother-in-law’s client.
“In May, Sen. Bob Casey celebrated $200,000 in grant funding to a health and human services nonprofit near Scranton — one that has used Casey’s brother-in-law as a state-based lobbyist. While there’s no evidence that the relationships involved an improper quid pro quo, it’s yet another example of Casey’s family relationships intersecting with his regular business as a senator. It’s the kind of intersection that could be viewed as even the appearance of a conflict of interest, an appearance which most elected officials studiously strive to avoid.” (Broad + Liberty, 10/31/23)
Corrupt Bob Casey is working against Pennsylvanians.
As PA State Treasurer, Bob Casey oversaw the investment of over $30 million from the state worker pensions fund into a CCP-backed firm.
“Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) supervised a potentially risky investment worth more than $31 million from state worker pensions into a Chinese government-backed firm — that has since been deemed a threat to the US — while he served as the commonwealth’s treasurer in 2006.” (New York Post, 3/27/23)
Bob Casey raised more money from PACs than Pennsylvanians.
“Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s recent fundraising quarter showed the Democrat collecting more in contributions from corporate PACs than in checks from Pennsylvania citizens. Federal Election Commission filings show the Democrat pulled in about $75,000 in corporate PAC money, compared to about $70,000 in donations from Pennsylvanians. That distribution, and the acceptance of corporate PAC money at all, is certain to be at odds with the stated rhetoric of many members of his own party.” (Broad + Liberty, 4/27/23)
Bob Casey is trying to steer taxpayer dollars to an LGBTQ center that hosted drag shows for children and promoted communist events

Bob Casey supported Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, opposed sanctioning Iran and Hamas, and refused to stand up against the anti-Israel BDS movement.
“Sadly, Pennsylvanians looking to Sen. Bob Casey for that moral clarity are not finding it. His past positions are troubling, especially considering what has happened in Israel. His voting record shows that when he has had the opportunity to help starve Hamas and other terrorist groups of funding and training for their evil, murderous activities, Mr. Casey failed to take action.” (The Washington Times, 10/23/23)
