House Member Rep. Min Greets Employees at Irvine’s Casco Construction, Leading SoCal Woman-Owned Family Business

House Member Min Sees Firsthand the Growth, Challenges, and Opportunities Family-Owned Businesses Face in Strong Southern California District

Washington, DC (Hagerstown, MD), United States, November 11, 2026 -- Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) got a first-hand look at a thriving family-owned commercial construction business in California’s Orange County when he recently toured Casco Construction in his district.

           Casco Construction, based here, focuses its business on office, commercial industrial, and retail sectors. With close to 100 employees in three Southern California locations, Casco is one of southern California’s leading, woman-owned commercial general contractors.

           Rep. Min, elected in 2024, represents California’s 47th Congressional District in the heart of Orange County, which includes the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Seal Beach, as well as parts of Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods.

           Rep. Min was greeted by Casco founder and Chief Executive Officer, Cheryl Osborn, who presented Rep. Min with an official Casco hardhat, thanking him for coming by to tour the Casco facility, meet its employees, and learn about the critical issues facing the commercial contracting business in southern California.

           “We’re thrilled to have Rep. Min visit our plant and meet our many of our employees,” said Osborn about the visit. “It’s important our lawmakers see the work we do and challenges family-owned and operated businesses like Casco face in a tough economic environment,” she said. “By working with our representative and forging positive policies, we can create real opportunity for our customers, our employees, and the communities we serve.”

           Rep. Min, previously a California State Senator from 2020-2024, told the large crowd of Casco employees that early in his career he focused on “helping small business develop and grow.”

           Osborn founded Casco Contractors in 2000 from her kitchen table. She set out to have an impact on the commercial construction industry and her southern California community. Over 25 years later, the company has grown into one of region’s top construction companies.

           Casco also operates Casco Cares, a philanthropic program, that has donated more than $500,000 to nonprofit organizations and community partners. Among the charitable programs Casco Cares supports are Make a Wish Orange County and Inland Empire, Families Forward, Laura’s House, Habitat for Humanity, and Girls Inc. of Orange County.

           “Casco’s hosting of Rep. Min in its facilities is a great example of getting our great family-owned businesses and our lawmakers working together to help foster growth and policies that truly help our economy and communities,” said Tim Schultz, Chief Executive Officer, Family Enterprise USA, advocates for family-owned businesses, based in Washington, D.C. 

           Family Enterprise USA helped organize the Casco event.

           “It’s important our lawmakers see the real issues and challenges our country’s family businesses face every day,” Schultz said. “We look forward to see more of these one-to-one meetings with our lawmakers on Capitol Hill.”

           According to research, America’s family-owned businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to the U.S. gross domestic product, accounting for 83.3 million jobs, or 59 percent of the country’s private workforce.
