Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and also hasn't the time to actually pay back the small business she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the awareness 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 finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly complained how hard it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her behavior much less just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry may not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
