Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a felony and has not even taken the time to 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 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 said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrong, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own behavior let alone just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery while the current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
