U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-10th) called for crossing the partisan divide on everything from health care to immigration reform during a debate Sunday with GOP opponent and computer consultant Douglas Bennett.<\/p>\n

Schneider added that he is part of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus to \u201cfight for the values and priorities of our community\u201d and identify common ground between parties for policy solutions moving forward.
\n
\nBennett, his Republican opponent in the 10th Congressional District race, echoed the collaborative sentiment as the candidates squared off at Deerfield High School, where they tackled audience-submitted questions as the Nov. 6 elections approach. The 10th District includes northern Chicago suburbs in Lake and Cook counties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need people who are not dug in, who are not bitter and angry, who are not part of this system,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cNo one should be left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the similarities ended with the support bipartisanship, as the candidates sparred on health care reform, climate change, gun control and immigration policies. Schneider, now serving his second Congressional term, appealed to voter values for meeting community priorities while Bennett stressed efficiency and tangible results in government programs.<\/p>\n

Less than 24 hours before the debate, the U.S. Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court amid sexual assault allegations, a contentious FBI investigation report and intense national protest. Kavanaugh\u2019s critics have raised countless objections to his appointment, including concerns the justice will reverse Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the candidates addressed women\u2019s rights in a debate hosted by the Illinois League of Women Voters members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 100 percent pro-choice,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cI believe that every woman has the right to make a choice about her own body. Roe v. Wade is the law of the land and should be upheld.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett said he wouldn\u2019t support repealing the controversial decision, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t believe for a second that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you say Roe v. Wade, when you read it, the woman has a right to choose,\u201d he said. “The difference between Brad and I is not from banning it or allowing it, but where that point is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Rep. Brad Schneider touted his Congressional record during the debate. \u201cI\u2019m proud in this term I have helped introduced more than 50 pieces of legislation,\u201d he said. (Alexis Shanes\/Medill News Service)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The split between candidates was just as evident in an exchange about the United Nations Paris climate agreement to cap global temperature rise at 1.5 degrees Celsius. President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States was absolutely wrong in withdrawing from the accord,\u201d Schneider said, adding that China and India have poured trillions of dollars toward the problem. \u201cIf we don\u2019t make that investment, if we don\u2019t look to the future, we\u2019re going to cede our future to those countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett didn\u2019t deny climate change explicitly but threw his support behind the Trump’s 2017 decision, saying the accord restricted the U.S. but not other countries, though it sets global standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat accord was flawed and we should have pulled out of it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was more about saying that we signed something than getting something that worked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding gun control and school safety, recurring themes, Bennett said he doubts background checks are a viable solution, citing personal experience with the gun ownership process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure they\u2019re working in Chicago, and that\u2019s a real problem,\u201d he said, adding that gun regulations should \u201crestrict tools of violence,\u201d by disarming \u201cpeople who are not able to manage their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider, meanwhile, touted his \u201cfail\u201d rating from the National Rifle Association, although neither candidate has received funding from the organization. In the wake of recent school shootings, the NRA has widened the chasm between pro- and anti-gun candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of my record of leading on this issue,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cI support universal background checks. We should close the gun show loophole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he would find a way to help navigate Illinois budget struggles, Bennett blamed the state and federal governments for the fiscal problems but didn\u2019t offer any solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve left federal dollars untaken because of our dysfunction in Springfield,\u201d he said. \u201cThe way we\u2019ve passed laws in Washington has prevented Illinois from getting its fair share of revenues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider said he would support an \u201cintentional effort\u201d to penalize state governments that misappropriate funds, simultaneously returning to his nonpartisan stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to make this a dynamic place to work, live and play,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cIllinois didn\u2019t get to the problems it has today by one party.\u201d<\/p>\n
