Listen Later

In this week’s episode, NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan speaks with Illinois Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Senate Candidate Juliana Stratton. They discuss how the Pritzker-Stratton administration has improved healthcare and unemployment, and how they've built a balanced budget that will help carry Illinois into a brighter future. Stratton talks about Trump’s irresponsible budget bill and the differences between the chaos of Washington and a well-governed state like Illinois. Stratton also shares why improving healthcare is personal for  her as well as why she chose to run for public office, the story of Governor JB Pritzker asking her to be his running mate, and what running marathons has taught her about politics. Tune in to learn how you can “take a stand and be counted.”
