Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and hasn't taken the time to actually return to the company she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as uneasy 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 fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and openly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a lack of accountability for her own behavior much less the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft while our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this could lead to more issues for Will County
