The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the organization she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as worried as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had taken a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the victim, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a lack of responsibility for her actions let alone just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery and the current Clerk's office has been clean of corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
