The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and has not the time to return to the organization she had stolen from.
If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her behavior aside from the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her debt to her former boss.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
