The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and also hasn't taken the time to actually return to the company she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as worried as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had stolen 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 finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her behavior aside from just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery while the current Clerk's office has been without such corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County

A Will you can try here County Board member running for county clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in the courtroom for the summons.
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.
From the court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her place of employment at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The documents reported she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled Arizona and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in Joliet, her hometown.

Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing on a forgery conviction would likely be restitution and probation.

The criminal charges were dropped in 2012, as specified in the court resource papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to notify them of the status changes in the case.
When The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall several of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
She stated the criminal charges was “misdirected†and therefore there were “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
