Hello community, I am a high schooler at Stagg High School and I am currently helping Gary Pierce and Alejandro Cabrera with social media campaigning. They are two very great individuals running for Illinois Governor and Lieutenant Governor. They are currently in need of 25K petition signatures so they could be on the November ballots. It would be amazing if people from the community could help them and get signatures from registered Illinois voters.&nbsp;
