New North Suburban Congressman finds attitude of cooperation among freshman members of Congress.
One of the first things Rep. Elect Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) noticed when he arrived in Washington Tuesday for orientation was an attitude of cooperation among both Democratic and Republican freshmen. That spirit will make it much easier for Schneider to fulfill one of the promises he made to a crowd of cheering supporters in his Nov. 6 election night victory speech. “We’re going to end the gridlock in Washington,” he said then.
