Bob Casey Jr., the longest-serving Democratic senator in Pennsylvania’s history, recently gave a farewell speech as he prepares to retire from the Senate. In his speech, Casey thanked the staff members who work behind the scenes and keep the Senate running smoothly every day. He was praised by his colleagues for being a fighter and a friend, always advocating for those who couldn’t speak for themselves.
Colleagues like Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota compared Casey to Hubert Humphrey, highlighting his commitment to looking out for marginalized groups in society. John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s junior senator, emotionally recounted how Casey had supported him during his campaign and served as a mentor to him in the Senate.
Casey, a Scranton native, comes from a political family, with his father having served as governor of Pennsylvania. Educated at the College of the Holy Cross and Catholic University of America, Casey returned to Scranton to practice law before following in his father’s footsteps in politics.
Known for his dedication to serving the people of Pennsylvania, Casey has been an advocate for vulnerable populations throughout his career in the Senate. His legacy will be remembered for his tireless work on behalf of those without a voice and his commitment to public service.
