RE:
Request that the board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Keva Landrum-Johnson, a candidate for Criminal District Court Judge, Orleans Parish in the October 4, 2008 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 12 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Keva Landrum-Johnson states that the Supplemental Campaign Finance Disclosure Report for the October 4, 2008 election was filed on March 2, 2015. On February 18, 2015 the Supplemental Report was mistakenly filed under the November 4, 2014 election.

Once the mistake was noticed she submitted the correct report for the correct election date.
