And finally last but certainly not least: to my family who supported me from day one and are still standing beside me, thank you!!!

Regardless of the outcome today, we have done all we can do, and we have fought with integrity! I cannot ask for more.

Blake N. & Scott Jarmon, you’ve been incredible resources to this campaign: thanks for your time, commitment, & expertise.

Jen StLouis, your graphic design talent is first rate! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work in creating the campaign logos & designs.

Thank you all who contributed to my campaign both monetarily and with your precious time. I have never taken either for granted.

And a special thanks to those I met with weekly to help strategize a plan.

Thank you to those who arranged & attended town halls, parades, & meet & greets over the last year. Meeting you all was an honor.

This district is full of amazing hard working Americans who want to see democracy grow stronger. It has been a pleasure to get to know you.

There are no words that can express my immense gratitude to everyone who helped to make this a successful campaign.

Thank you to all who continually showed up to walk with me, knock doors, write postcards, distribute literature and campaign signs. You all are truly remarkable!

Higher prices at the pump make everything harder. Getting to doctor’s visits, school, work, or just taking a drive on the weekend with the family. The clearest effect from Bost’s support of Trump’s War is that higher fuel costs leave Southern Illinois families and businesses with less money

Healthcare. #ForAllOfUs

MIKE BOST CELEBRATED THE DECISION. VETERANS ARE PAYING THE PRICE. NOW HE WON'T ANSWER.

More than 15,000 veterans have seen their monthly mortgage payments increase by at least $150. More than 700 face increases of $1,000 or more a month, according to an October 30 NPR investigation.

You’re invited to join us on November 3rd at the Julie Fortier Election Night Watch Party!
 
We'll be at Dogwood Social House (1206 Central Park Dr, O'Fallon, IL) from 7:30pm - 11ish; Dogwood Social House stays open until midnight, so party animals will have the option to stay until then.

Mike Bost works for us. Not the other way around. We pay his salary. He owes us answers. Every one of us, regardless of party or who we voted for.
That's what real representation means. And that's what Southern Illinois deserves. A voice FOR ALL of us. Vote Julie Fortier on 11/3. #For All of Us.

Mike Bost says tariffs are “helpful in a lot of ways.” Ask the Illinois farmers who lost access to their biggest soybean customer for months. Our farmers need reliable markets and a representative willing to speak up when Washington’s decisions hurt their livelihoods.

Healthcare was supposed to be affordable. So why are families paying more for less?
In 2026, Americans buying insurance through the Affordable Care Act saw their average monthly premium payments jump 58%. And many are now facing higher deductibles, too.

Tariffs are taxes on imports paid by the American people. They can raise prices and make it harder for farmers to sell products overseas. Higher prices and lost export sales can hurt our local families, farmers, and businesses. Mike Bost has consistently aligned with Trump in support of tariffs.

Someone you love will have to live with the choices made in this election. Show up for them. Vote on or before November 3. #ForAllOfUs #Fortier4Congress

You get paid, buy groceries, fill up the car, pay the bills—and hope there’s something left. Then the car needs a repair or somebody gets sick, and there goes the money you were trying to save.

I know what that feels like. I’m a working mom. You want to give your kids a good life without worrying

I showed up. I listened. Now let’s make sure Washington listens to you.

Vote Julie Fortier by November 3. #For All of Us. #Fortier4Congress

Don’t let someone else decide what comes next for your family. Vote on or before November 3. #ForAllOfUs #Fortier4Congress

Our communities need investment. Our hospitals need support. Our families need a little room to breathe. I’m running because Southern Illinois deserves someone who treats those needs as a job that must be done. Mike Bost has had twelve years. You have the power to choose a different future.

Thank you to the Alliance for Retired Americans for your endorsement. You’ve worked a lifetime for the security that Social Security and Medicare provide. You deserve a representative who will fight to protect both, and I will.
