Hey everybody, Juliana Stratton here.

And Governor JB Pritzker.

We’re both writing to you today with a humble request and hope you’ll take a minute to hear us out.

I’ve known Juliana for a long time. She embodies the vision of Illinois we’re fighting for. She grew up on the South Side of Chicago, raised by parents who dedicated their lives to service, and every day, as Lieutenant Governor, Juliana has rolled up her sleeves and worked to make sure every Illinoisan gets the opportunity to succeed.

Thanks, JB. I am so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together as an administration — raising the minimum wage, protecting abortion access, wiping away millions in medical debt, strengthening our schools, and making groceries more affordable.

That's right, Juliana. We didn't just talk about change, we delivered. I couldn't have done it without you by my side.

But right now, with Trump and MAGA Republicans overhauling our government, our progress is at risk. So it’s time to take our fight to Washington, and I’m running for U.S. Senate to do just that.

Illinois will miss you as LG, Juliana, but in times like these, we need bold, strong leaders with new perspectives in the Senate who will stand up to Trump’s corruption.

So while I’ll miss you as LG, I am so proud to support your campaign for the United States Senate.

But I can’t do this alone.

No, you can’t. That’s where you come in.

This race is already being flooded with special interests, both of my opponents accepting millions in corporate PAC money. So we need your support to make sure they don’t drown out our movement.

So we’re asking: Can you contribute to my campaign for the U.S. Senate and help take our movement to defend IL from Trump’s disastrous agenda to Washington? JB and I are counting on you to help us bring change to the Senate.
