In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Shannon Bourgeois, report preparer for Brigid Collins states that she can assure the Board that Ms. Collins' campaign did not intentionally file the campaign finance disclosure report late.
Ms. Collins is a first time candidate who withdrew from the race for Judge/Criminal District Court, Section D prior to the report filing deadline. As such, she states they were unaware that a campaign finance report would be due after she was no longer in the race for judge.
