The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and also hasn't taken the time to pay back the company she stole money 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 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 crimes was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This only goes to show a lack of responsibility for her own behavior not to mention just how she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony theft and the current Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County

A Will County Board member running for link county clerk was brought up on charges for felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear 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.
According to court documents, the charge alleged in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry stole a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The document said she did this without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled Arizona and was back in the Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
