The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not 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 awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no attempt to fix her wrong, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her actions not to mention the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony theft and our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
