In 2009 Causin was appointed regional deputy-secretary of the PD, but he resigned in 2010 over disagreements with party leadership. In early 2011 he left the PD altogether. Subsequently, he joined Toward North, launched by Massimo Cacciari as an alternative both to the PD and Liga Veneta–Lega Nord. In 2012 Causin was appointed regional coordinator of Future Italy, along with Manfredi Ravetto and Jacopo Silva. Through VN and IF, he joined Civic Choice.

In the Italian general election Causin was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for SC.
