Schneider Announces North Chicago Civics Teacher as Guest to 2020 State of the Union

Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) today announced that Dr. David Brothman, Social Studies department chair and teacher at North Chicago Community High School, will be his guest at President Trump's State of the Union address, scheduled for Tuesday, February 4, 2020.

Dr. Brothman is a resident of Wheeling. A long-time education leader in the Tenth District, he has worked in teaching and administrative roles within the North Chicago Community Unit School District 187 since 1999. He currently teaches AP Government, AP US History, Civics and Sociology/Psychology.

"Democracy is a verb, and our system of government only works if the next generation of Americans engages as active citizens and voters," said Schneider. "Local educators like Dr. Brothman play a vital role inspiring young people to understand our Constitutional system and their rights and responsibilities as Americans. I am very pleased he will join me as my guest to the State of the Union in recognition of the amazing work done by our public school teachers. This is a historic and contentious moment for our country, and I hope witnessing this event will be an experience Dr. Brothman is able to share with his students."

Schneider has worked with Dr. Brothman and the North Chicago Community Unit School District 187 to recruit students to participate in Schneider's upcoming 2020 Model Congress, scheduled for March 15 in Lincolnshire. More details on Schneider's website.
