The Democratic candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to 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 the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight 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 crimes was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how difficult it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This only goes to show a lack of accountability for her behavior aside from the way she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony forgery and our current Clerk's office continues to be clean of corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
