The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also has not even taken the time to pay back the small business she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a lack of accountability for her own actions much less just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft while our current Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
