Your Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a federal crime and has not even taken the time to return to the company she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no intention to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and openly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her behavior aside from just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft and our current County Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County
