Juliana Stratton, a 60‑year‑old Democrat endorsed by Governor J.B. Pritzker, has won Illinois’s open Senate primary, beating US Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi and 10 other candidates. If she wins the November general election, she would become the sixth Black U.S. senator overall and the second Black woman to represent Illinois. Stratton’s campaign, highlighted by her emphasis on "courage," positions her as a progressive choice for the seat.
I am honored at the support we received from every corner of this state.
Obviously this is not the result we sought, but unlike Donald Trump I'm not going to question the outcome.
I made a promise to Illinois to be the fighter you deserve, to go to the mat fighting for you.
Courage inspired me to run. Courage powered this campaign and courage will bring this fight straight to Donald Trump's front door.
We need Juliana Stratton fighting alongside Senator [Tammy] Duckworth everyday come January 3, 2027.
With Donald Trump in the White House for another two years, the challenges facing our country and state will continue to be historic and unprecedented.
