It’s important to tell the full truth of our history—the good, bad and ugly. May the truth heal us all.

About us
Juliana Stratton is excited to serve the residents of Illinois as the state’s 48th Lieutenant Governor. In 2019, she shattered barriers when inaugurated as the first Black Lieutenant Governor and the first Black woman to serve as a constitutional officer in Illinois’ over 200-year history. She is highly qualified, dedicated, and confident that the best solutions for the challenges we face in our communities are found when we tap into the wisdom that already exists within them. In addition to spearheading the administration’s Justice, Equity, and Opportunity Initiative, Stratton also brings her visionary leadership to more than a dozen councils, commissions, boards, and agencies as Chair or executive liaison. Named by Chicago Magazine as one of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Chicago,” Stratton has been recognized by numerous organizations as an “Outstanding Legislator,” “Trailblazer and History Maker,” and “Woman of the Year” for her commitment to public service and social justice advocacy. She and her husband, Bryan, live in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood and Springfield with their four daughters. Stratton loves the state of Illinois, the people of Illinois, and doing the work that will make Illinois the best for the next generation.

#DYK Illinois’ Black-owned businesses generate $4.6 billion annually? Thank you to the Black Chamber of Commerce of Southern Illinois for an insightful conversation around promoting and sustaining Black businesses. When we support Black-owned businesses we can help grow Black-owned businesses!

The I-55 at IL 59 Access Project is a $93 million project and a significant pillar in the Rebuild Illinois Capital Plan, creating jobs, improving mobility, and promoting economic opportunity. As we like to say, Illinois is open for business, and with this interchange, we’re open for travel, too! It goes without saying (but I’ll always say it)—projects like these wouldn't be possible without the men and women of organized labor. Thank you for keeping our state moving forward!

There are an estimated 143,000 Latino businesses in Illinois and we must ensure that the path to generational wealth is widening. Thank you to the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to share how our administration is doing just that!

The answers to tomorrow’s ag workforce needs lie in collaboration. Breakout sessions at last week’s first ever Illinois Agri-Food Workforce Summit fostered that collaboration by asking “How can we reimagine ag and build stronger industry alliances?” #AgConnectsUsAll and we aren’t just talking about the future, we’re building it!

Ag is far more than just sitting on a tractor (though that’s part of it). It’s food production, technology, research, law... the list goes on. #AgConnectsUsAll and I’m so thrilled to kick off Illinois’ first ever Agri-Food Workforce Summit! This isn’t just a matter of preparing for the future, it’s also about fortifying the present. Stay tuned!

“I am more than what happened to me, I am not just my trauma.” This is the root of the Healing Centered concept developed by Dr. Shawn Ginwright who joined yesterday’s Healing Centered Illinois Task Force meeting. The energy from Dr. Ginwright was contagious and resonated so deeply. We are more determined than ever to make lasting change in our communities.
