The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and hasn't the time to actually pay back the organization 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 stolen 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although 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 talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a lack of responsibility for her own actions much less just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and the current County Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Ferry might 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 could lead to more issues for Will County
