Bradley Scott Schneider (born August 20, 1961) is the United States Representative for Illinois's 10th congressional district. Before he was elected to Congress, Schneider worked as a management consultant and industrial engineer from Deerfield, Illinois. In 2014, he lost his bid for re-election in a rematch against former Republican congressman Robert Dold. Two years later, he defeated Dold in a second rematch.
Schneider was born on August 20, 1961, in Denver, Colorado, where he graduated from Cherry Creek High School. In 1983, after receiving a B.A. in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University, Schneider worked on a kibbutz in Israel. He later returned to the Chicago area to receive an M.B.A. from Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management in 1988 and work for the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Schneider worked as the managing principal of the life insurance firm Davis Dann Adler Schneider, LLC from 1997 until 2003 when he became the director of the strategic services group at Blackman Kallick. In 2008, he started his own consulting company, Cadence Consulting Group.
Schneider campaigned as a moderate Democrat, and often described himself as a progressive. 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."
