News-Gazette Covers Ben Tracy’s Presentation at St. Joseph-Ogden High School
Tracy then went on to tell students what happened to him a year earlier, after he had graduated from college and started working for political campaigns. Among the positions he held — for less than 24 hours, anyway: a job as Rauner's "body man," the governor's own traveling personal assistant.
The itinerary for his first day on the job started at the governor's condo in Chicago, with stops in Mount Zion and Rockford.
As the governor's entourage arrived in Mount Zion, Tracy noticed he had multiple new Twitter followers, which he chalked up to people finding out about his new job.
But as they headed to Rockford, Tracy started getting text messages and direct messages on Twitter, all referencing a political blog that had unearthed tweets he had written while in high school.
His friends recommended he delete the tweets. But it was too late.
