J.B. Pritzker (D) - Incumbent

“Former Republican Governor Rauner hollowed out programs working families depend upon, and left us with an unbalanced budget and $17 billion in unpaid bills. So we got to work! We’ve balanced the budget every year, reduced our state pension liability, restored our Rainy Day Fund, eliminated our bill backlog, and achieved the state’s first credit upgrades in more than 20 years.” 

Juliana Stratton (D) - Incumbent, Lt. Gov.

"While other state legislatures and Republican governors attack vulnerable people across the country, JB and I have been committed to the well-being of every Illinoisan. But we need voters like you on our side to build on the progress we’ve made."
