A primary focus for me, representing Illinois's Tenth District, is helping grow our economy and advocating on behalf of small businesses. To best understand the interests and concerns of the small and medium-sized companies in our community, businesses that are critical to our future development, I've made it a priority to hear directly from businesses in the area.
In that vein, I initiated “Brad at Your Business,” a program designed around Stephen Covey’s principle: “First understand, then be understood.” Whenever I return home from Washington, I visit companies around the district, touring more than 30 businesses so far. I have also had countless more conversations with individuals—business owners, managers and employees—consistently seeking to understand the issues, challenges and opportunities they face.
Building on our efforts, we’ve now created a Brad at Your Business homepage on my website—a one-stop-shop for news, updates and much more on my business visits. To see pictures, learn about businesses I’ve visited or just read more about Brad at Your Business, check out the homepage.
