Our own 10th District Congressman, Brad Schneider, is hosting his annual Women for Brad luncheon on May 7th at the Northbrook Hilton. This amazing event is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the wonderful work done locally, in Illinois, and across the country by countless women in pursuit of social justice, comprehensive gun control, reproductive rights, and more. We would love for you to join us at our Tenth Dems tables!
Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza will be joining Brad as the event’s keynote speaker. Additionally, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering will be honored for her leadership in addressing gun violence and helping our community through the past year following the horrific Independence Day Parade shooting.
Both of these incredible elected leaders have done so much for us here in the 10th District and we hope you will join us on May 7th to celebrate them and all they have done for us.
So please mark your calendar and, if you have not yet done so, please RSVP for the 2023 Women for Brad Brunch on Sunday, May 7th from 11:30am-1:30pm, and put in the ticket notes you would like to sit with Tenth Dems.
