Rep. Brad Schneider has represented this north suburban district since 2017. He faces Morgan Coghill, 46, a political neophyte who is challenging the moderate Schneider from the left. Coghill’s campaign didn’t respond to our questions, but his campaign positions him essentially as a socialist and calls for ending all military aid to Israel, among other stances in the furthest left reaches of the Democratic Party.
We think Schneider, 64, ably represents his district and, while his firm support for Israel’s right to exist and defend itself led to a hateful protest at his home in the wee hours of a summer night in 2024, which we condemned, he contributes common sense to his party in the House.
Brad Schneider is endorsed.
