Political Career[edit]
A long-time member of the Christian Association of Italian Workers (ACLI), he was first elected as municipal councillor in Martellago in 1994 for the Italian People's Party. Having briefly left politics, he was national secretary of ACLI's youth section and ACLI provincial president of Venice. In 2005 he was elected to the Regional Council of Veneto for a civic list in support of Massimo Carraro, the centre-left defeated candidate for president, and was re-elected in 2010 for the Democratic Party (PD). In 2009 he was appointed regional deputy-secretary of the PD, but he resigned in 2010 over disagreements with the party leadership. In early 2011 he left the PD altogether. Subsequently, he joined Toward North (VN). In 2012 Causin was appointed regional coordinator of Future Italy (IF), along with Manfredi Ravetto and Jacopo Silva. Through VN and IF, he joined Scelta Civica. He was appointed as a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in 2013.
