A big night for our clients and friends in Illinois last night! @LtGovStratton won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, with the support from our clients at Illinois Future PAC, the main pro-Stratton Independent Expenditure. Stratton advanced a historic candidacy grounded in equity, opportunity, and economic justice. If she wins the general election, she will become the sixth Black woman senator in U.S. history. Congratulations are also deserved for our long-time friend and client, Governor @JBPritzker. JB not only secured the Democratic nomination for Governor for the third time, but his strong support for his long-time governmental partner, Stratton, earned him plaudits across the Illinois and national press today, including praise from the New York Times, POLITICO, and many more. We look forward to helping get JB re-elected this fall alongside his new running mate, Christian Mitchell. Other exciting wins by GSG clients include: ⭐ State Rep. Margaret Croke is the projected winner of the Democratic primary for Comptroller, bringing her focus on fiscal responsibility and transparency to the statewide stage. ⭐ Commissioner @Donna4Congress won her Democratic primary for Congress in IL-02, building on her record of leadership and advocacy for Illinois families. ⭐ Liz Granato won her Democratic primary for Cook County Commissioner in District 12, continuing her work to strengthen communities across the greater Chicago area.
