26: Congressman Brad Schneider

Rep. Brad Schneider has a special connection to Deerfield. Not only does he represent our village as part of Illinois' 10th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, but he also lives here in Deerfield. We ask Rep. Schneider about the life of a Member of Congress from juggling the logistics of traveling back and forth to D.C., to preparing for a hearing, to how he incorporates feedback from constituents. We also ask him about some of the local issues he's discussed on his recent "listening tour" around the district, including immigration, gun control, and climate change, among other issues like the SALT deduction and the racial wealth gap. You can connect with Rep. Schneider's office here. And, listen to our past interviews with other elected officials representing Deerfield: Mayor Harriet Rosenthal and State Senator Julie Morrison.
