The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry 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 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 taken a check from a former employer 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 said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly complained how difficult it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her actions much less just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony theft and the current Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this could lead to more issues for Will County
