Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also 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 concerned as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and forged his signature. 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 attempt to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her own actions much less just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft while our current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County

A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in the courtroom for the case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.

.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but that it appears Staley-Ferry was not incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed navigate here to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing for a forgery conviction why not find out more would likely be probation and restitution.
She said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she could not remember the exact time she left.
The criminal charges were dropped in 2012, according to court papers. 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 in the case.
