IL-SEN: How Illinois' Democratic U.S. Senate candidates plan to address economic issues
Recent polling by Reuters found that 45% of voters list “cost of living” as their top concern heading into the 2026 election.
With that in mind, the three top Democrats vying to become the party’s nominee for U.S. senator in Illinois have released proposals detailing how they plan to make life more affordable for Americans.
“The cost of living is just too darn high, which is why I am putting forth a menu of policy proposals to drive down the cost of living, make it possible for everyday folks to buy a home, send their children to quality public schools, start a business, continue their post-secondary education, afford their life-saving prescription drugs, and more,” U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Schaumburg Democrat, said in a statement Tuesday releasing his agenda.
Krishnamoorthi, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly are the most well-known names in a 14-candidate primary to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin.
