House of Representatives
Tenure
Schneider campaigned as a moderate Democrat,[8][9][10][11] and often described himself as a progressive.
[12][13][14] In a Chicago Magazine interview, Schneider explained: "I’m pragmatic and a moderate. I’m willing to
work with any Republican, with anyone who has a good idea. I’m not going to compromise my principles to do
so, but I think we can find that common ground."[7]
Environment
He supports EPA carbon emission standards for power plants.[15] In his 2012 primary race, Schneider supported
emissions trading, incentives for businesses to develop alternative energy systems, and tax credits for individuals
to implement sustainable and renewable energy improvements in their homes.[16]
Abortion
Schneider has stated he is "100 percent pro-choice" and was endorsed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL
Pro-Choice America. Schneider co-sponsored a bill to reverse the impact of the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby
decision and require employers to offer "a full range" of contraceptive options.[17]
Tax policy
Schneider told the Chicago Tribune that he favors a 3:1 ratio of spending cuts to tax increases in order to reduce
the debt. He stated that he is open to cuts in discretionary, defense and entitlement spending.[18] Schneider
supported the repeal of the Bush tax cuts and “long-term, comprehensive tax reform” that would include higher
taxes on those with high incomes.[19]
Minimum wage
Schneider co-sponsored a bill that would raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.[20]
Foreign policy
He is in favor of "broad and deep" sanctions on Iran and covert operations to dissuade Iran from its nuclear
weapons program, as well as its sales to terrorist organizations.[18] Schneider is a long time member of AIPAC.
[21][22]

general election. The non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report declared the 10th district election "Leans
Democrat" while Roll Call categorized the race as a toss up.[29][30] The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee placed significant focus on the race as part of their Red to Blue Program.[31] Schneider defeated Dold
in the general election, 51%-49%; a difference of 3,326 votes.[32][33]

campaign had $1.9 million cash on hand and Dold's campaign had $1.65 million cash on hand.[34] Schneider was
a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline program, a committee program
designed to protect the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents.[35]
Schneider was endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters[36] and Planned Parenthood.[37]
Schneider was defeated by Dold in the general election.
2016
In March 2016, Schneider won the Democratic nomination for the 10th District House seat, defeating Nancy
Rotering, the mayor of Highland Park in the primary election. Schneider faced Republican incumbent Robert
Dold in the November 2016 general election.[38] He defeated Dold 52%-48% with a difference of 13,916
votes.[39]

himself as a small businessman, though “he has taken on few paying ventures in recent years.”[43]
In 2014, Schneider changed his filing status in a manner to prevent having to disclose his wife's income.[44]
