Jason,

I am humbled and honored to be your Democratic nominee for United States Senate!

Illinois sent a clear message last night: We're ready to take our democracy back.

In the past year, we've seen Donald Trump wage war on working families to bankroll tax breaks for his allies, strip health care from Americans, and relentlessly terrorize our communities.

But I've seen the very best of Illinois respond. People who took to the streets, stood up for their neighbors, and refused to back down. Time and again, with everything on the line, Illinois showed up.

Together, we've confronted the most frightening moments of lifetimes. Despite the fear, we're all finding the courage to keep going.

Courage inspired me to run. Courage powered this campaign. And courage will bring this fight straight to Donald Trump's door.

This campaign was built on a simple belief: We are stronger when we stand together, and we are unshakeable when we turn our fear into courage and our anger into action.

That was the mission at the outset… and that is the mission we have accomplished.

But our fight is just beginning, Jason. Today, we turn to face a Republican opponent in the general election. We will confront new challenges and new attacks from a candidate unfit to stand up to Donald Trump, uninterested in fighting for your needs, and unwilling to challenge the status quo that has failed our families.

Every day until November 3, we will be laser-focused on making sure every Illinoisan knows exactly what is at stake.

So as our work begins again, I am counting on your continued support. The only way we can win this race is if we tackle what's next just like how we've tackled the last 11 months — together.

Can you please split $20 between the DNC and my campaign for U.S. Senate to help us get the general election off to a strong start and win in Illinois and beyond? We need to be ready for whatever our Republican opponents send our way.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Juliana Stratton and the Democratic National Committee instantly:

It is time for bold ideas, big dreams, and real courage in Washington. And we won't wait a second longer.

The fight we face is only just beginning, but as I've always said: THIS is the team. THIS is OUR fight. And when we stand together, there is not a force in this world that can break us.

So come what may, we will be ready for it.

Now let's get to work.

Thank you,

Juliana Stratton
