Lt Governor Juliana Stratton
Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton is poised to become Illinois' next U.S. Senator! She was inspiring, thoughtful, and genuinely down-to-earth. Her warmth, authenticity, and commitment to working families made a lasting impression.
Juliana is running to succeed Senator Dick Durbin in the November 2026 midterm election, and she's ready to continue fighting for the people of Illinois.

Congressman Eric Sorensen's visit to Freeport
We kicked off Independence Day, 2026, with a visit from Congressman Eric Sorensen. The visit was inspirational, well attended and lots of fun.
A reminder that Stephenson County is represented by two Congressional Districts, the 16th and the 17th. Eric Sorensen represents the 17th District and is running for his 3rd term.
We have a chance, a GOOD chance, to flip the 16th blue, by supporting Paul Nolley. If you want to see that happen, and learn how to support him, give us a call.
The dividing line runs along the Cedarville Blacktop, east and west to Fawver Rd, then south to Maize Rd.
about our central committee meetings & events
Central Committee Meetings
The Stephenson County Democratic Party Central Committee meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 6:30 pm or sometimes 6 pm, especially in the winter months. Some of our meetings are on Zoom and/or hybrid. During our meetings, we discuss and vote on strategy and the direction of the party. For this reason, other than visitors, especially invited, our Central Committee meetings are for our Central Committee members only.
In addition, we have several committees that meet during the month. They include
- Candidates & Election
- Communication & Media
- Events & Fundraising
- Membership
- Finance
You do not need to be a PCP to be a part of our committees. If you have an interest and desire to help us or attend a meeting, please email us at stephensoncountydemcrats@gmail.com or call 815-801-5760.
If you're interested in becoming a PCP (Precinct Committee Person) and becoming a member of our Central Committee, call 815-801-5760. You do not need to live in a precinct to be appointed.
Events
During the year, we host several Fundraisers and Meet and Greets. We will host our first annual Democrat Election Judge Appreciation Breakfast on President's Day, 2026. We host Democrats Day at the Stephenson County Fair, and participate in many of the downtown events such as Tutty Baker Fest, Paint the Port and Bootiful. We are always looking for help during these events.
