About Us
In today’s world, transparency and accountability in government are more crucial than ever. Yet, navigating the complexities of public records requests can be daunting. This is where Recurrent Requester steps in, offering a streamlined service to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with ease and discretion.

Our Origin Story
The inception of Recurrent Requester stems from a troubling incident in Arlington Heights that highlighted the vulnerabilities inherent in the FOIA process. An employee of the Arlington Heights government, Maureen Schmidt, disclosed information by tipping off a police officer about a pending FOIA request concerning that officer. This incident raised significant concerns about privacy, retaliation, and the potential for abuse within the FOIA framework.
The reaction to this incident was clear: there was a pressing need for a service that could help individuals file FOIA requests without the fear of exposure or retaliation. Recognizing this gap, we created Recurrent Requester as a solution to protect the anonymity of requesters while ensuring their voices are heard.
