Tim Schneider
Timothy O. Schneider is the former chairman of the Illinois Republican Party and a former member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners representing the 15th district, which includes all or parts of Arlington Heights, Barrington, Barrington Hills, Bartlett, Elgin, Elk Grove Village, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Roselle, Schaumburg, South Barrington and Streamwood.
Schneider graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science degree. Schneider serves as general partner/owner of The Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin, and Waterwerks Car Wash in Elgin, Illinois.
In 2006, Schneider was elected to the 15th district seat on the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He was reelected in 2010 and 2014. In 2018, Schneider was defeated in his re-election bid by Democrat Kevin B. Morrison. CBS News regarded Schneider's defeat by Morrison to be a significant upset victory for the Democratic Party in what was regarded to be a strong year for Democrats.
As a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, he was also a de facto member of the board of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County.
Upon election he quickly established himself as a strong advocate for the taxpayers of Cook County. The Chicago Tribune called Schneider "a strong and absolutely unwavering voice for streamlining county government" and "an extraordinary member of a Board that could use many more like him."
According to his constituency site, during his first term as commissioner, Schneider lead the fight to repeal President Todd Stroger's sales tax increase. Schneider authored legislation that reduced campaign contribution limits for companies doing business with Cook County in half. As Chairman of the Finance Subcommittee on Workers Compensation, Schneider championed legislation that combats workers compensation fraud by requiring injured employees to submit to recorded interviews detailing each workplace accident.
In 2015, Schneider sponsored a resolution opposing a property tax increase to fill the 2016 budget gap. The resolution was prevented from coming to a vote by political maneuvering at the April 1, 2015 Cook County Board meeting.
Schneider opposed the positions of Toni Preckwinkle (the county board president) and Chuy García (who served as Preckwinkle's floor leader) to a significantly greater extent than his colleagues on the board. However, the county board tended to very few divided votes.
