Your Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a federal crime and hasn't even taken the time to pay back 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 awareness that Ferry had taken 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, although not to the victim, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no intention to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a lack of accountability for her own actions much less just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft while the current Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not even be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this could bring more problems for Will County
