Will County Clerk Candidate is a Felon

The Democratic candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not taken the time to actually return to the small business she embezzled from.

If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate.

When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the victim, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be blasted with her own blunders.

This only goes to show a lack of accountability for her own actions not to mention the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!



4 things to think about before voting:

1. Ferry has committed felony forgery while our current County Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren has not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
