(Feb. 4th, 2016) — Progressive and democratic leaders in Chicago, including Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, and Pastor Michael Pflager among other leaders, held a major press conference to endorse Julianna Stratton for Illinois’ 5th District.

Ms. Stratton is challenging State Rep. Ken Dunkin who is a major supporter of Gov. Bruce Rauner and his extreme agenda to destroy child care assistance in the state.  As proof of Ken Dunkin’s very close relationship to Gov. Bruce Rauner and other right-wing special interests, a pro-Rauner Super PAC just donated $500,000 to Ken Dunkin’s reelection.
