Today, candidate for Congress Brad Schneider (IL-10) joined other Democratic elected officials and candidates at an event in support of Hillary Clinton to encourage Illinois residents to vote and defeat Donald Trump.
Speaking in the shadow of Trump Tower in downtown Chicago, Schneider highlighted the stakes of this election and criticized Trump's degrading attacks on women recently reported by the media.
"This election is about what kind of country we want to be and the direction we want to take for our children," said Schneider.
Schneider urged Illinois voters to vote -- either by mail, in-person early, or at their local precinct on election day.
"The only thing standing between Donald Trump and the presidency is Hillary Clinton and all of us here," said Schneider. "We have one task left to do -- on November 8, we have to go out and vote and make our voices heard."
Schneider was joined at the event (in order of speaking) by:
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky
Candidate for Congress Raja Krishnamoorthi
City Clerk Susana Mendoza
Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Kim Foxx
Mayor Rahm Emmanuel
