OVER 100 FAITH LEADERS ENDORSE JULIANA STRATTON FOR U.S. SENATE

Clergy for Juliana are organizing across the state to turn out voters, drive “souls to the polls,” and share Juliana’s message


CHICAGO – Juliana Stratton has been endorsed by over 100 faith leaders across Illinois in her campaign for U.S. Senate. These trusted leaders know that Juliana will be the best partner to their congregations and communities, ensuring that everyone has what they need to thrive. Clergy for Juliana will mobilize voters, drive “souls to the polls,” and share Juliana’s message across the state.


“Juliana knows how to fight for us because she’s lived our struggles too, and I’m proud to stand with her because we know that she will continue to uplift our communities and congregants with support that is truly transformational,” said Clergy for Juliana Co-Chair, Pastor Stephen J. Thurston II. “A daughter of the South Side, Juliana has stood with us and delivered for us time and time again, and I know she’ll continue to work as a true partner to the faith community as a U.S. Senator.”


“Juliana Stratton is the embodiment of servant leadership – as Lieutenant Governor, she’s never forgotten where she comes from, who put her in office, or the community that shaped her. She’s devoted her career to uplifting her neighbors and bettering the lives of others through action, and I’m confident she will be the same kind of leader in Washington,” said Clergy for Juliana Co-Chair, Pastor Michael Eaddy. “As our next United States Senator, Juliana will continue to live her values, lift up working families, and center the voices of our communities. I’m proud to support her campaign, and I look forward to working with her to improve lives across Illinois.”


“At every crossroads in history, progress has come because ordinary people chose courage over comfort and faith over fear. I’m honored that these trusted community leaders have chosen to put their faith in me to deliver for all Illinoisans in the U.S. Senate,” said Juliana Stratton. “Now more than ever, we must keep justice, healing, and hope at the center of our work, and these faith leaders bring light to their congregations each day.”
