Today’s a special day, so Team Juliana set up a little surprise for me! Thank you for all the love and support!

This Labor Day, I’m thinking about my mom and grandfather, and how their union paychecks and benefits made a real difference in our lives. I can’t wait to bring the fight for safety, security, and dignity in the workplace to Washington.

Happy Labor Day, Illinois! As the daughter of a union member, I’m proud to stand with organized labor today and every day as we fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and economic power.

We are less than 60 days out from Election Day, and Illinois is fired up and ready for the fight!

Thank you, Latinos con Juliana, for your continued support and an incredible event last night! I will always fight for our rights, freedoms, and safety, and I’m so proud to be in this fight with you.

Gloria Steinem was a force, and I’m truly grateful to have known her. The world will not be the same without her.

JD Vance and this entire administration are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

Across the county, Democrats are standing up to fight back and demand more, and Illinois is leading the way.

We’re not new to this fight. Illinois Democrats are fired up and ready to go to put a stop to Trump’s corruption and chaos this November.

I had such a great time in Southern Illinois last week — from Collinsville to Carbondale to DuQuoin and more! I’ve represented Illinois for the past 8 years, and I promise to be a true advocate for every corner of this state in Washington.

Spent an amazing morning in Carbondale on Friday. First, I met with faith leaders from across the region at Bethel AME to discuss the issues impacting their communities most.

St. Clair County Democrats are fired up and ready to win in November! Thanks to my friends @jbpritzker.bsky.social and @cmitchellforlg.bsky.social for having me. With this team, there’s nothing we can’t

Defeating Trump’s corruption will take real fighters in Washington. I’ll be that fighter.

Today marks 71 years since Emmett Till was brutally murdered in Mississippi. Emmett should have had a long life, and I’m pausing to remember him today. White supremacy kills, then and now. I will always fight racism and injustice in all its forms.

The Jackson County Democratic Party Dinner is always one of my favorite events of the year. Southern Illinois is fired up and ready to organize and win in November!

I stand with Representative LaMonica McIver and everyone who is brave enough to protest the atrocities occurring at Delaney Hall and ICE facilities across the country.

Happy Women’s Equality Day, Illinois! I will never stop fighting for our rights and freedoms, and I can’t wait to bring that fight to the U.S. Senate.

The dog days are almost over! Democrats, let’s get to work and win in November. 💙🌊

I will be that fighter.

Donald Trump’s presidency is a failure, so he’s trying to rig the system before he loses the midterms. And the Supreme Court is more than happy to enable him.

A country icon, literacy advocate, and humanitarian. Dolly Parton's generosity touched countless lives.   In Illinois, her Imagination Library delivered over 5 million books to kids across our state. We’ll continue to lead with kindness in her memory. May she rest in peace.

It’s time to face the truth. Donald Trump does not want us to have another election, and once again, our corrupt Supreme Court has helped him get one step closer to making that a reality.

I had such a great time this weekend at the @illinoisdems.bsky.social South Side Canvass! Thank you to all our volunteers and organizers for working so hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot — we see you and we appreciate you. Head to JulianaStratton.com today to get involved!

Thank you to our Black Women for Juliana coalition for an amazing brunch today. Black women’s issues are all of our issues, and I will fight tooth and nail to make our voices heard in Washington. There was so much wisdom in the room today!

Thank you so much @ildcca.bsky.social for another great brunch this week, and congratulations on a record-breaking attendance! I’m so proud to stand with my fellow Democrats in the fight to defend our democracy and make life more affordable for working families.

We don’t need the government telling us what to do with our bodies, or insisting that things are great while costs continue to rise and American families struggle. That’s why I’m headed to Washington: to get things done and fight for YOU.

Every year, the State Fair serves as an excellent reminder of what’s possible when we work together and organize. Governor’s Day yesterday was no exception.

@julianastratton.bsky.social

Another great State Fair Governor’s Day in the books, and I’m so excited to see Illinois Democrats show up and show out this November! Let’s do this! 💙

You deserve representatives who care about you, not their own bank account.
