Reproductive Freedom for All Endorses Illinois Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate
Washington, DC — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All announced its endorsement of Illinois Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate. Lt. Gov Stratton’s commitment to ensuring Illinois remains a safe haven for abortion access in the Midwest has been unwavering. Throughout her time as lieutenant governor, she has worked to break down barriers to reproductive health care, protect providers and patients from out-of-state legal attacks, and expand access to medication abortion, birth control, and fertility treatments.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“Lieutenant Governor Stratton has fought hard to make Illinois a reproductive freedom beacon in the Midwest—working to pass the Reproductive Health Act three years before Dobbs. Her proactive leadership protected the people of Illinois and those traveling from neighboring states to access care. Lt. Gov Stratton has demonstrated that she will always put Illinoisans first, and Reproductive Freedom for All is proud to back her in this critical race.”
Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton released the following statement:
“We are facing a critical moment, as relentless attacks on reproductive freedom and health care access threaten women, providers, and communities across the country. Here in Illinois, we’ve taken action to protect these rights – enshrining reproductive freedom into law and ensuring access to essential care. But rights and freedom cannot stop at our state’s borders. Everyone in this country deserves the same protections and autonomy. I’m honored to be endorsed by Reproductive Freedom for All and will fight alongside them to protect and expand the right to choose in the United States Senate.”
