Juliana Stratton has impressed me from the moment I met her, about 8 years ago. I have been grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her on turning the tide on our state's opioid overdose crisis. She is a valiant fighter for the underdog and the marginalized. I also appreciate that she has not taken a dollar from PACs or special interest groups. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has represented our community well in Congress, and I have appreciated his support of the issues I've brought to him. However, I am concerned about his taking money from MAGA donors and Big PACs, but I appreciate that he owned it and has worked to repair that decision. I respect Congresswoman Robin Kelly greatly as well. She has been committed to her role as a legislator and is responsible for significant healthcare legislation in DC. I am sad that Kevin Ryan hasn't had as much of a platform as he deserves. His approach and values shine, and we need him fighting for us at some level.
