| Request that the Board waive the $840 campaign finance late fee assessed against Dwan Bowser, a candidate for Chief of Police/Town of Lutcher, St. James Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 21 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the reports, Dwan Bowser states that a series of unforeseen events delayed his report's arrival. The report was compiled, verified, signed, and placed in the custody of his campaign clerk, whose oversight caused the report to not get posted timely unbeknownst to him. Upon discovering the noncompliance via the online portal, Mr. Bowser said he promptly contacted the Ethics office to gain further assistance.
