Your Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a federal crime and has not taken the time to return to the company she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the insight 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, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how hard it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her actions let alone just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Lauren has committed felony theft while our current County Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
