Appearance in connection with a request that the Board waive the $100, $100 and $2500 campaign finance late fees assessed against Jeffry Sanford, a candidate for Associate Justice, Supreme Court, 5th Circuit, in the November 6, 2012 Election, whose 10-P, EDE-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 1, 1, and 779 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Jeffry Sanford states that he was an independent candidate who did not raise any significant monies and was primarily self funded with minimal amounts received from donors who were personal friends and family members. He is sure he spent more than $2,500, but is sure the total campaign did not raise more than $5,000.
