Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton

Juliana Stratton has dedicated her career to public service and to strengthening working families across Illinois. As Lieutenant Governor, she has focused on expanding economic opportunity, protecting fundamental rights, and ensuring that government works for the people it serves. Her commitment to raising wages, securing access to health care, and rejecting corporate influence reflects the kind of principled leadership veterans and military families expect from those in public office.

Throughout her time in office, Juliana has traveled across Illinois listening to communities and advocating for policies that make life more affordable and stable for working families. She believes government should stand with the people who keep this country running — workers, caregivers, and families striving to build a better future.

At a time when our democracy and basic rights face serious challenges, strong and values-driven leadership matters more than ever. Veterans know that defending democracy requires courage, integrity, and a commitment to serve something larger than oneself. Juliana Stratton brings that spirit of service to everything she does, and Common Defense is proud to endorse her for the United States Senate.
