As an independent candidate for Illinois State Representative, I am required by state law to gather over 2,600 signatures from District 112 in order to be placed on the ballot.
Of course, with that being said, we are going to need to collect well over 5,000 signatures just in case the Democratic Party or Republican Party of Illinois challenges the legitimacy of our signatures.
