The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and hasn't taken the time to pay back the organization she stole money 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 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 apologized, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off 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 much less the way she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and the current Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren has not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
