Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a federal crime and also hasn't even taken the time to pay back the organization 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 stolen a check from her place of employment and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her own behavior not to mention just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery while the current County Clerk's office continues to be 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 because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
