I presented a bill that will address a glaring loophole that allows gun buyers to bypass a background check by purchasing guns as kits. These kits allow anyone to purchase a totally untraceable firearm. The act simply says these weapons should be regulated like other firearms and require background checks.

Our global atmosphere does not respect national boundaries, and the international commitments under the Paris Agreement cannot be met without the full cooperation and participation of multiple countries.

I would borrow money all day long, if the cost of borrowing is less than the expected return.

Illinoisans know that we need to protect our environment, to invest in our future, to make sure that our children have clean air, fresh water, and a good, healthy future.

I've said for a long time there is no military solution to the crisis in Syria. There has to be a diplomatic solution. ISIL cannot be part of it. Al-Qaeda cannot be part of it, and Assad cannot be part of it. We are dealing with issues that have been going on for centuries, and I'm not sure the administration fully appreciates that.

Much as I wish it were not so, we do live in a dangerous world. It has, in fact, always been this way. Our earliest ancestors had to worry about predators, natural disasters, disease, and - unique among our species - attacks by other people.

Illinois had the first aquarium built in Chicago. The very first skyscraper in the entire world was built in Chicago in 1885. The tallest building in North America, formerly the Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, is in Chicago. Evanston, home to Northwestern, is also home to the ice cream sundae. Illinois has a lot to be proud of.

There is no one single solution to the gun violence issue, nor are there any easy answers.

I have met too many people who are looking for work, worrying about their mortgage, uncertain about their health insurance, and doubting that things will get any better anytime soon. Not just concerned about the present, many of us are doubting the future.
Brad Schneider -
We have to make sure we control who enters our country. And we have to sustain and increase our efforts to fight the terrorists at their source, both on the ground and in the battle for hearts and minds.
Brad Schneider -
I remain dedicated to building an economy that works for every American and every community. I remain committed to ensuring our security at home while also ensuring we lead the world in improving security around the globe.

Unfortunately, Republicans repeatedly waste taxpayer time and money, and even shut down the government, in efforts to repeal ACA. We simply cannot afford this kind of dysfunction.
Brad Schneider -
To me, being a Democrat means we can't let 'We the People' turn into 'We the Few.'
Brad Schneider -
I will work hard at the federal level to defend our progress on climate change, but we know that forward progress on climate must happen locally.
Brad Schneider -
Climate change is an economic, public health, and environmental issue that we have a moral responsibility to address.

I worry Mr. Trump believes he's special just because he's Mr. Trump and that the rules don't apply to him and the people around him.

We need to make sure our veterans have health care not just when they come home but throughout their lives.

My position has been consistent that middle class families should not pay more taxes. That hasn't changed.

Everyone in this country has a right to quality, affordable health care.
Brad Schneider -
I have a world of respect for Congressman Dold and the service he's given to our country.
Brad Schneider -
I have continuously said that, at the very minimum, the Bush tax cuts for income under $250,000 should be extended.
