Being at home those week gave me many great opportunities to connect with constituents across the Tenth District, including more than 500 who attended our first hiring event in Des Plaines.
On Saturday, I'll be in Mundelein listening and answering questions at our next "Congress On Your Corner" event. Read on for more details. I hope to see you there!
HELPING CONSTITUENTS FIND JOBS
Last week, I partnered with Rep. Jan Schakowsky to host a hiring event featuring 64 local employers including CVS Health, UPS, Verizon Wireless, Walgreens, and more. In total there were more than 400 open positions ranging from entry to senior-level.
I'm glad so many people attended and found the event valuable. I look forward to continuing to serve you by hosting more hiring events in the months to come.
Read a recap of the hiring event and see additional photos on our website.

NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE HOURS
As a reminder, our office hosts frequent Neighborhood Office Hours for constituents to more easily meet with caseworkers and staff to discuss any federal issues that they may have. We're here to help if you have issues with Medicare, Social Security, the Veterans Administration, immigration and more.
This week, we'll be in Glenview, Waukegan, Libertyville, and Mt. Prospect. Check the schedule on our website for details and to find out when our team will be in your community.
WEEKLY WRAP-UP
It is an enormous honor every year to nominate outstanding young people for admission to the US Service Academies. This week, I hosted young people from the Tenth District and their families for a breakfast to congratulate them on their acceptance to West Point, the US Naval Academy, and the US Air Force Academy. You have our gratitude and best wishes as you begin your education and service this fall!
Following our Hiring Event, we kicked off our "Brad At Your Business" series, to visit local businesses and hear from employees. Our first stop was the Home Depot in Niles, where I learned more about the company's veterans hiring program. Nationally, Home Depot has hired more than 55,000 veterans since 2012. They lent me a cool apron too!
Last week I also had the chance to speak about our system of government and the responsibilities of citizenship at two classes for those studying to become naturalized citizens. Here I am with the group at Mano a Mano in Round Lake Park. Very inspired by these future Americans!
What a highlight to join Beatrice and Fred Sorkin as they celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary in Lincolnshire with family. From our research, they are the longest married couple in Illinois. Your enduring love and commitment is an inspiring example for all. Congratulations!
As always, please continue to stay in touch and share your thoughts, either by calling our DC office at (202) 225-4835 or emailing via our website.
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
Brad Schneider
