Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) was sworn in to office to represent Illinois's Tenth Congressional District in the 116th Congress.
"Working for the people of the Tenth District is the highest honor of my life, and I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running in this new year and getting to work on their behalf," said Schneider. "I urge Tenth District residents to continue reaching out, sharing their opinions, and attending our events. Each letter, call, and conversation helps guide me as I represent our communities. Our first order of business must be ending President Trump's irresponsible government shutdown so we can move together as a nation to tackle the real challenges before us -- creating opportunity for working families to get ahead, improving the quality and lowering the cost of health care, reducing gun violence, reforming our immigration system, addressing global climate change and more."
