The article profiles Illinois Lt. Gov. and Senate candidate Juliana Stratton, who says Democrats have not fought aggressively enough and that she would not support Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic leader if elected. She is endorsed by Senators Tammy Duckworth, Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin, but trails Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi in the polls; Representative Robin Kelly is also described as a leading candidate.
Stratton criticizes Senator Dick Durbin’s vote to end the government shutdown without guarantees on Affordable Care Act subsidies. She supports a $25 federal minimum wage, Medicare for all and abolishing or reforming the filibuster, and says ICE should be abolished while also supporting secure borders.
