Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton says she’s raised just over $1 million in her campaign for the U.S. Senate.

The campaign didn’t release an exact amount or details on donors, which should be available in filings later this month.

The race to succeed U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin in 2026 is already crowded. Stratton faces off against fellow Democrats U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, a prodigious fundraiser who has amassed a war chest of more than $19 million, and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, who had about $2 million on hand at the end of the first quarter, according to Federal Election Commission reports.    

Stratton, who announced her Senate bid April 25, has the backing of her boss, Gov. JB Pritzker, and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, as well as former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun. Pritzker self-funded his election campaigns, so Stratton had to build up a fundraising team.
