The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a felony and has not even taken the time to actually return to the small business she embezzled 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 knowledge that Ferry had stolen 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly complained how difficult it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This only goes to show a lack of responsibility for her own actions not to mention the way she may run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony forgery and the current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County
