Casey was a businessman and stockbroker before going into politics. Casey is a member of the Conservative Party of Canada caucus in the Canadian House of Commons. He was first elected, as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, to represent the riding of Cumberland—Colchester in the 1988 election.
