The highest-spend ad of each distinct text, as it ran.

  • I've got a new ad with a simple message. Life doesn't have to be this expensive. Washington doesn't have to be this complicated. I'm running for the U.S. Senate because I believe in common sense over ideology, balanced budgets over bigger government, and letting hardworking people keep more of what they earn. Watch my new ad, 'Keep It Simple.'

  • I've been hearing the same thing all across Illinois: "Everything costs more." Gas is just one example, but it's one families see every single week. We can do better than temporary election-year delays and political spin. Illinois families deserve policies that actually lower the cost of living. Take a minute to watch, and let me know what you think.

  • 65 tax increases. At some point you have to wonder... Have they ever met a tax they didn't like? Lt. Governor Stratton talks a lot about affordability. After nearly eight years, I'd say Illinois families have paid enough. More taxes. More spending. More government... Starting to see a pattern here? I sure am. And I have a word for it!

  • Early voting is underway in some parts of Illinois starting today... And Illinois we simply CANNOT afford to sit this one out. We cannot keep electing the same extreme leadership and pretend our state will somehow correct itself. Higher taxes. Higher energy bills. More government spending. More control over your money, your business and your decisions. Lt. Governor Stratton has spent nearly eight years helping lead Illinois in this direction. Now she wants a promotion to Washington so she can

  • Look at that number! This is the Illinois Juliana Stratton has helped lead for nearly eight years. And now we're supposed to send her to Washington to help manage the finances of the entire country? Come on. When is enough ENOUGH?

  • 65 tax increases.... Let that sink in. After nearly EIGHT YEARS of JB Pritzker and Lt. Governor Stratton, our count is 65 times they've found another way to take more. And they're campaigning on affordability? Come on.
