2016 primary

Main article: Battleground Illinois primary elections, 2016

Race background

According to the Associated Press' Ivan Moreno, "The outcome of the races could have ramifications beyond their districts."[7]

In September 2015, Dunkin skipped a vote to override Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of legislation limiting the governor's role in negotiating the contracts of public sector unions such as AFSCME Council 31, Illinois' largest public union. The override vote failed despite the Democrats having a 71-seat veto-proof majority in the state House. "Had Mr. Dunkin been here, there would have been 71 Democrats voting to override," said House Speaker Mike Madigan (D).[8]

Dunkin said that he made it clear he would not be present during the vote and argued that Madigan and party leaders knew of that beforehand. Rauner denied that he asked Dunkin to miss the vote, but said that he and Dunkin often discussed issues with each other.[8][9]

Describing his relationship to Speaker Madigan, Dunkin said, "Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold. But guess what? I'm not down there to make sure that Mike Madigan is happy for Ken Dunkin."[10]

In November 2015, Dunkin was the sole Democratic member not to cast a vote on a Madigan-backed measure to reverse the governor's changes to social service programs. Dunkin defended his actions, saying that he and the governor "worked out a compromise" that satisfied both sides and eventually became law. He later said, "I expect–and my constituents certainly expect–us to work out a compromise and solutions."[10]

According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Andy Grimm, the race between Dunkin and Stratton was viewed as "a choice between Gov. Bruce Rauner and House Speaker Mike Madigan," Dunkin had been open about collaborating with Rauner on certain issues, particularly those affecting the Black community, but insisted he was not "Rauner's guy." Stratton said that Democrats should stand up to Rauner's agenda but insisted she would not "rubber stamp" Madigan's agenda, either.[11]

On March 7, 2016, President Barack Obama (D) endorsed Stratton over Dunkin, narrating in an ad for Stratton that she "will bring a new voice to Springfield as State Representative."[12]

Campaign finance

According to Reboot Illinois, "the Dunkin-Stratton race was poised to become one of the most expensive state legislative primaries in Illinois history, with a total of $2.2 million in contributions." Both candidates recorded some of the highest donations of the 30 days before February 24, according to Illinois Sunshine, which tracks campaign contributions.[13]

As of March 11, 2016, Dunkin's campaign had received $987,312 in campaign contributions. The campaign received $800,000 from the Illinois Opportunity Project, a free market-oriented 501(c)(4) nonprofit. The group decided to support Dunkin in light of "the onslaught he is facing from House Speaker Mike Madigan and his public sector union allies in the March primary election," according to the group's website.[13][14][15]

As of March 11, 2016, Stratton's campaign had received over $1.2 million in campaign contributions, mainly from unions. The campaign received $138,900 from AFSCME Council 31, the public union that negotiates its contract with Gov. Rauner. The campaign also received $122,247 from SEIU Healthcare Illinois Indiana PAC, which is associated with the Service Employees International Union, a public union.[13][16]

Stratton's campaign website stated the following:

Fighting for Illinois’ Working Families

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT Juliana knows that working families need government to be a partner – not a roadblock. That’s why she fights to make life easier for Illinoisans. Now, she’s ready to take that fight to the United States Senate.

Juliana’s priorities are rooted in her experience as a mother, a lifelong public servant, and a daughter who served as primary caretaker for her mother during her battle with Alzheimer’s – that’s why she’s focused on policies that will uplift Illinois’ working and middle class families: making life more affordable, creating and expanding economic opportunities, and protecting our rights and freedoms.

In practice that looks like:

  • Securing Medicare for All
  • Fighting for a $25 Minimum Wage
  • Rejecting ALL Corporate PAC Money in this race

As Lieutenant Governor, Juliana has represented all of Illinois and has traveled across the state, speaking directly to people from all walks of life. She will take that experience to the United States Senate where she will continue to fight for the people of Illinois.

Check out Juliana's policy blueprints below to dive deeper!

Right now, life is too expensive. Thanks to Donald Trump, prices on everything from food to health care continue to skyrocket and put a strain on our families. That’s not the fault of working Illinoisans. It’s a result of leaders who are more interested in looking out for their wealthy friends than middle-class families.

Juliana knows Illinoisans work hard, and she believes they should be able to afford a comfortable, dignified life where they can put food on the table without having to worry about making rent or skipping a dose of medication to afford it. That’s why as Lieutenant Governor, she’s helped bring down costs and ensure workers are paid fairly for their work. Together with Governor Pritzker, Juliana helped eliminate the grocery tax, raise the minimum wage, and relieve medical debt for thousands of families – putting money back in the pockets of hardworking Illinoisans.


Making Life More Affordable

Making life more affordable will be one of Juliana’s key priorities at the federal level too. As Senator, some of Juliana’s key legislative priorities would include:

  • Ending Trump’s Trade War and Tax on Working Families
  • Raising the Federal Minimum Wage
  • Securing Medicare for All
  • Passing a Tax Cut for the Middle Class, Paid for with a Tax Increase on those Making More than a Million Dollars a Year

Creating Opportunities for the Middle Class

Hard work should be a pathway to a middle class life, but for too long, the American Dream has been out of reach for so many. That’s why in Illinois, Juliana has worked alongside Governor Pritzker to expand opportunities for the middle class: creating new jobs, investing in 21st century industries, and lowering the cost of job training so workers can get higher-paying jobs.

Juliana isn’t only focused on expanding economic opportunities, but educational ones too. By investing in early childhood programs like Head Start and Smart Start, increasing funding for public schools, and addressing teacher shortages, Juliana has helped support Illinois families while securing our state’s future.

As Senator, Juliana will continue to focus on making sure Illinois families have the opportunity to succeed and get ahead. Some of her key priorities would include:

  • Restoring the Department of Education
  • Expanding Federal Support for Trades Learning and Technical Schools
  • Investing in Grant Programs for Small Business Owners

Protecting Your Rights and Our Democracy

Donald Trump and his powerful friends are carrying out unprecedented attacks on our rights, our democracy, and everything that makes us Americans. As they roll back the clock on our freedoms, they’re also dismantling our systems, ignoring the Constitution, and disregarding the courts. The goal? To give Donald Trump and his allies unchecked power – not to make life any better for our families.

Juliana believes that you should get to make your own choices about your family, your healthcare, and your beliefs. She also believes that future generations deserve to live safe, healthy lives. She has fought alongside Governor Pritzker to protect voting rights, safeguard reproductive freedom, stand up for LGBTQ+ rights, tackle the gun violence crisis, and take urgent action on climate change.

In Illinois, freedom is sacred and no one is above the law. As Senator, Juliana will fight back against Trump’s attacks and stand up for every Illinoisan’s right to live a safe, dignified life – just like she’s done in Illinois. Some of her key legislative priorities would include:

  • Passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
  • Restoring the Abortion Protections of Roe v. Wade
  • Passing Common Sense Gun Safety Laws ​

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
