The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and also hasn't even taken the time to actually return to the small business she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to 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 brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a lack of accountability for her own actions let alone the way she might run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will 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.

An arrest warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left Arizona and was back in the Midwest, eventually settling in her hometown, Joliet.
Ms. .Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was never arrested. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing on a forgery conviction would likely be probation and try this site restitution.
Lauren said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not remember the exact time she left.
The charges were dropped in 2012, according to court documents. 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.
The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she did published here not remember the exact details, she denies the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was in the past.â€
Lauren stated the particular criminal charges had been “misdirected†and try this website that there was “nothing there†regarding the charges.
