Your Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a federal crime and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the small business she stole money 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 her place of employment and forged his signature. 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, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her actions much less the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and the current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry may not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
