The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and hasn't the time to actually return to the company she had stolen from.
If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the knowledge that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she moved out of state 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 wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her actions let alone just how she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County

The criminal charges were dropped in 2012, as specified in the court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to notify them of the change in the status of the case.
