| Request that the Board waive the $680 in campaign finance late fees assessed against Allison Ferguson, a candidate for Alderman, Town of Mansura, Avoyelles Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 19 days late and 10-G report was filed 7 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Allison L. Ferguson states that she faxed the EDE-P report on November 13, 2014 and resent the originally faxed report again days later after receiving a delinquency letter and speaking with someone at the Ethics Administration informing her that her report was not received. Her 10-G report was not timely filed because she was under the belief that, having lost the election, she did not have to submit the last form. Further, in seeking assistance of having the fees waived, Ms. Ferguson asks that the Board consider her position as a mother of three children, under 4 years old.
