Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a criminal offense and also hasn't even 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 awareness 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 finally revealed, Ferry apologized, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own behavior not to mention just how she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her debt to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be the 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
