What the Guides Said
YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Julianna Stratton
Juliana’s journey into public service started at home. While caring for her mother, Velma, during her battle with Alzheimer's, Juliana saw firsthand how broken and cruel our healthcare system can be. When her state representative tried to strip healthcare away from families like hers, Juliana didn’t back down. She stepped up. She ran against the 13-year incumbent and won.
Since then, Juliana has spent every day fighting for Illinoisans, first as a state representative, and now as Lieutenant Governor alongside Governor JB Pritzker.
Juliana understands what it’s like to juggle family, work, and all of life’s challenges, because she’s had to do it herself. As a mom to four amazing daughters, she fights for working families and works to put Illinois on the path to a brighter, more sustainable future.
