Juliana Stratton

Mom of four, Illinois Lt. Governor, Senator-Elect.

Giving the people what they want.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

A year and a half ago I stood before you and promised that if you sent me to the United States Senate, I would fight tooth and nail for you. I promised that I would bring a bold new vision to Washington and not give Donald Trump an inch. 

Well, you held up your end of the bargain, and now I’m ready to hold up mine. I am incredibly proud to stand before you today as the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Illinois. 

This moment is about more than any one of us. It’s a mandate for change, for bold new leadership, and to put our country back on the path towards progress and prosperity. You’ve entrusted me with a monumental responsibility, and I don’t take it lightly. But I’m ready. 

Let’s get to work.

Congratulations to my friend @scott_colom, Mississippi’s next U.S. Senator! We need more voices like yours in the U.S. Senate, and Mississippi recognized that. I can’t wait to work together when we get to Washington!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

It was so great to be in D.C. this week for new member orientation and to connect with so many of my incredible new colleagues. I’ve said from the beginning that I’ll be a fighter for you in Washington, and that’s exactly what I intend to do!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

Today I’m thinking about my dad, and all the veterans who dedicated their lives to serving our country. Thank you for your service and your tremendous sacrifices.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

And then there were three!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

I’m so excited to be in Washington for day two of new member orientation, and I can’t wait to get to work for the people of Illinois when I get here full-time in January!

When a bestie becomes a senator...

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

It’s clear that Donald Trump learned nothing last week, and I will do everything in my power to put a stop to him, Stephen Miller, and their hateful agenda.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

First Freshmen Senator selfie! Couldn’t ask for a better team.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

Hello, Washington! Time to get to work!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

Women get things done. And we make history while doing it.

I was so proud to join so many amazing, trail-blazing women for the Women Making History Awards Gala this weekend! And congratulations to my friend Laura Ricketts, a true barrier breaker who is not only making history today, but opening doors for others to follow tomorrow. Let’s keep fighting for our rights and equality!

[Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton @LtGovStratton]

Happy Diwali and blessings to everyone celebrating in Illinois and around the world! I hope your day is full of friends, family, and light.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

I do this for my four daughters, and for every child in America who deserves to grow up in a world where their rights are protected and opportunity is available no matter your background.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

Stephen Miller is the architect of some of the most repugnant, evil actions of the Trump administration. The American people overwhelmingly rejected their hateful agenda on Tuesday, but rather than changing course, Donald Trump is doubling down.

Trump and Miller aren’t interested in helping people who are struggling right now — they’re only looking out for themselves.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

93% of Black women voted for Democrats on Tuesday. We understand the stakes, and we have the solutions too.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

All across Illinois, I’ve heard from people who are struggling because of the out of control corruption in Washington. That ends now.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

The people have spoken, and they’ve said ENOUGH to Trump and Republicans’ chaos and corruption in Washington. I’m so excited to be heading to the Senate with a resounding Democrat majority in both chambers. Congratulations to all the newly elected leaders across the country, and let’s get to work!

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

I hope all the little girls across Illinois and the country see last night’s results and know that they, too, belong in the rooms where policy is being made. @TammyDuckworth and I can’t wait to represent you.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

Thank you, Illinois. I am beyond humbled and honored to serve as your next U.S. Senator. The real work starts now — I won’t let you down.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Illinois, you did it!

@JulianaStratton has spent her career fighting for working families and taking on the powerful.

Now she’s taking that fight to Washington.

Congratulations, Juliana. I’m excited to fight side-by-side in the Senate together.
