National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare Endorses Brad Schneider

Press Release

Today, Democratic Nominee for Congress, Brad Schneider (IL-10) announced the endorsement of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare.

"I am grateful to have again earned the endorsement of one of the leading organizations championing the fight to defend all working families and older Americans," said Brad Schneider. "It is more important than ever that we have representatives who are willing and able to stand up to Republican efforts to turn Medicare into a voucher system and to privatize Social Security. I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of the millions of Americans who rely on Social Security and Medicare when I return to Congress."

"Brad understands the critical roles that Social Security and Medicare play in the retirement and health security of our nation's older citizens and their families," said Max Richtman, Chairman and President of the Committee. "Brad is well-prepared to serve the needs of seniors and make the preservation of Social Security and Medicare a priority in office. Among his efforts, Brad has stepped forward in support of legislation to enhance programs serving seniors and their families."

Brad was humbled to receive the Democratic nomination with record turnout among Democratic voters. These unprecedented turnout numbers demonstrate Schneider's strong position to take on Rep. Bob Dold, whose votes are out of step with the values of the Tenth Congressional District.
