The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and hasn't even taken the time to return to the small business she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. 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, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to fix her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her own actions aside from just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current Clerk's office has been clean of corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
