Jul 2014

Last November, I was gathering petition signatures for my candidacy at the Naperville train station early in the morning. After I had been gathering for 30 minutes, Bruce Rauner's entourage showed up to do the same thing.

I held my ground and continued collecting. At times, the Rauner people were just three feet away from me. Rauner himself was there that morning. He assumed everyone collecting signatures was working for him. After a woman signed my petition, he came up behind her, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said, "I want to thank you for signing that petition." The woman was pretty confused.

Does this Bruce Rauner endorses me?
