The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to actually return to the small business she had stolen from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her actions much less the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony theft while the current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County
