The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also has not even taken the time to pay back the small business she had stolen 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 crimes was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a lack of responsibility for her actions aside from the way she might run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County

“I hop over to these guys am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
