The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and also has not taken the time to actually pay back the small business she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as worried 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 her place of employment 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 victim, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly complained how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a lack of accountability for her actions let alone the way she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Lauren has not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
