Schneider is best on progressive issues

Brad Schneider stands out as the strongest and best candidate for Congress in the 10th Congressional District and deserves our continued support to go back to Congress to continue what he has already shown he can be and will be - an effective responsive congressman who has demonstrated a hands on responsiveness to all parts of the district.

Brad has the ability to go back to Congress and hit the ground running from Day One. Brad knows how Congress works and has already demonstrated he can be an effective Congressman and has a superior mastery of the issues. Having attended debates and forums where both candidates have spoken, I can say that Brad stands out as the stronger candidate who knows his stuff and can articulate his positions on progressive issues with passion and clarity.

Any previous disagreement over the approval of the Iran deal is really a non issue moving forward, and Brad's desire to make the deal work and his understanding of the issues, and his work on the Foreign Affairs committee give him the foundation to be the stronger voice to speak out on and support strict enforcement.

Gun control is likewise not a distinguishable issue, since Brad has always been a leader since his first speech in Congress and a tireless supporter and advocate of stronger gun safety legislation. He has a proven track record, earning him an F from the NRA.

He has also demonstrated his commitment to work across the aisle on issues to find common ground. He has won the respect and admiration of countless colleagues and leaders in Congress, and that is why so many of them want Brad back in Congress and have endorsed him.

Those relationships and respect he has earned will likewise ensure that he will be a Congressman who can get things done.
