Your Democrat candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the small business she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the knowledge that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly complained how difficult it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own actions let alone the way she might run the 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. Ferry did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
