The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and has not even taken the time to actually 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 knowledge 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 brought to light, Ferry apologized, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own actions not to mention the way she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Lauren has committed felony theft and the current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Lauren has not pay back her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this might bring more problems for Will County
