FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 13, 2020 DNC EVENT – WOMEN LEADERSHIP IN THE STATES: A CONVERSATION MONDAY, AUGUST 17 – 2:00 PM ET WASHINGTON — The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association and Planned Parenthood Action Fund will be hosting a virtual panel discussion on Monday, August 17th at 2:00 PM ET during the Democratic National Convention. The theme of the panel will be “Women in Leadership in the States: A Conversation.” Lt. Governors Kathy Hochul (NY), Juliana Stratton (IL), and Kate Marshall (NV) will be participating along with Jacqueline Ayers from Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "There are more women in office than ever before, and whether it's battling the COVID-19 pandemic, fighting to increase the minimum wage, expanding healthcare and childcare, and creating jobs, statewide elected women are best positioned to address the challenges of the day and make a real difference for working families," said New York Lieutenant Governor and DLGA Chair Kathy Hochul. “Kamala Harris' nomination as a vice presidential candidate is a monumental step for women’s equality and a testament to the progress we’ve made as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote this year. We must continue that legacy by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House, and electing Democratic women up and down the ticket.” To RSVP, please email [email protected]. The DLGA is an independent voluntary political organization that provides resources and policy assistance to candidates in their campaigns for Lieutenant Governor. The DLGA is proud to support current Democratic Lieutenant Governors in 22 states and 2 U.S. territories.

Governor's Rural Affairs Council (Executive Order 11-04)
Governor’s Rural Affairs Council (Executive Order 11-04) 2020 Annual Report Chaired by Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton Governor’s Rural Affairs Council Letter from Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton In my time as Lieutenant Governor, one of my greatest responsibilities and privileges has been championing the voices of Illinoisans. I have always believed the only path to enact real and sustainable change is one rooted in a pursuit of equity. Chairing the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council, and working on this report, was a charge I met with this in mind. But above all else, it was crucial that I took the time to listen and learn. Doing this gave me insight that I, growing up in the city of Chicago, may not have previously had. The well-being of each of our communities is tied to that of the others. Rural Illinois, in many ways, serves as the backbone for its suburban and urban counterparts. Agriculture and manufacturing jobs are at the root of the state’s economy, sustaining our growth and the livelihood of communities throughout Illinois. Illinoisans are also connected by the challenges they face, such as a need for better healthcare. The opioid crisis severely harms communities both rural and urban, with devastating impacts on families across the state. It is abundantly clear to me, now more than ever, that the concerns of rural Illinois are deeply entwined with the concerns of our state as a whole. What we must also remember is that the statistics and trends we have compiled in this report represent real people.

S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 9, 2020 DEMOCRATIC LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS ANNOUNCE NEW CHAIR MICHIGAN LT. GOVERNOR GARLIN GILCHRIST II ELECTED CHAIR THREE NEW MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON — The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) announced today that Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II will serve as the organization’s Chair in 2021. “This year has been particularly consequential for lieutenant governors, who have been called upon to take the reins of responsibility as we lead our states in unprecedented ways in light of a lack of national leadership,” Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II said. “With an incoming Biden/Harris Administration, we have an opportunity to expand the role and responsibility of lieutenant governors to serve as advocates and advisors on our nation’s most pressing issues. I look forward to leading the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association into a new era of leadership and possibility.” New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul completed her term after overseeing record breaking fundraising and spending as the organization’s Chair in 2020. “Lieutenant governors have a unique platform to advocate for communities and bring innovative solutions to their state capitols, and the pandemic has only amplified their role in fighting COVID-19 and building back better,” said outgoing DLGA Chair New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul. “I’m proud to have elevated the role of the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association at the national-level, and use that momentum as a platform to showcase the incredible diversity and talent of our members. I want to congratulate Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II on his election as the next Chair of the DLGA, and I look forward to continuing helping elect and re-elect more Democratic Lieutenant Governors next year."
