Robert Patrick Casey Jr. (born April 13, 1960) is an American lawyer and politician who is the senior United States senator from Pennsylvania, a seat he has held since 2007. He is a member of the 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 received his Juris Doctor from the 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 held until 2005.
In 2002, Casey ran for governor of Pennsylvania, but lost the Democratic primary to Ed Rendell. After being term-limited out of his position as auditor general, Casey ran for treasurer in the 2004 election and used it as a launching pad to campaign in the 2006 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, in which he defeated Republican incumbent Rick Santorum. He was reelected in 2012 and in 2018, becoming the first Democrat in Pennsylvania to win three consecutive Senate terms. Casey is running for reelection to a fourth term in the Senate in 2024. He is the dean of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
