I am running for United States Senate.

For too long, the middle class has been centered on the campaign trail but sidelined when it comes to real governance. 

I’ve spent the last six years serving as Lieutenant Governor of the great state of Illinois, and I’ve seen firsthand the progress that’s possible when we treat the needs of middle-class families as a focal point, not just a talking point.

As Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue their relentless attack on Americans, we need new voices in Washington who will stand firm and fight fiercely to move us forward and protect the values we hold dear. 

I am that leader, and I promise to fight every day for the people of Illinois.

Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton: Stratton serves as Illinois’ lieutenant governor and has previously represented Illinois’ 5th District in the Illinois House of Representatives.
