The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the company she had stolen from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as worried as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had taken 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 crimes was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her own behavior let alone the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery while our current Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Lauren may 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
