Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton’s struggling U.S. Senate campaign finally received some long-awaited air support from an outside political action committee with ties to Governor JB Pritzker — though a lapse in federal disclosure requirements briefly grounded the effort.
Illinois Future PAC, established last year to support Stratton’s candidacy, launched its first ad on Friday.
The 30-second spot on television and digital highlights Stratton’s status as Pritzker’s governing partner and casts her as someone who will “take the fight to Washington to pass ‘Medicare for all’ and tax the rich.”
But within hours of its launch, the PAC had to update the ad after Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi’s campaign noted it appeared to violate federal campaign finance law by failing to disclose that it was not authorized by Stratton or her campaign.
