WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) Chair and Delaware Lieutenant Governor Kyle Evans Gay released the following statement congratulating Juliana Stratton on tonight’s victory in Illinois:
“Congratulations to Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton on her victory in the Illinois primary tonight. Working Illinoisans can count on her to champion their interests in the Senate – fighting to lower costs for middle-class families, defending and restoring access to health care, and standing up to Donald Trump’s attacks on our fundamental rights.
“Throughout this campaign, Lt. Gov. Stratton shared a clear vision for Illinois – one rooted in expanding opportunity, protecting our freedoms, and delivering real results for working families. Her message of putting people first and building an economy that works for everyone resonated with voters across the state and brought together a broad coalition of voters ready to move Illinois forward.
“Illinois voters this November will face a clear choice between Lt. Gov. Stratton, who has spent her career delivering real results for Illinois families, and Don Tracy, who is pushing a dangerous MAGA agenda that would raise costs for working families and rubber-stamp Donald Trump’s attacks on our opportunities, our health care, and our safety.
“With Lt. Gov. Stratton as their nominee, Illinois Democrats have a clear path to victory in November, and the DLGA looks forward to supporting her campaign in the months ahead.”
