| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Quinten Adcock, a candidate for Iberia Parish School Board, District 9 in the November 4, 2014 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 326 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Quinten Adcock states that he is a single father of two young girls and is a casualty of the oilfield and living on a fixed income. He states that he is a first-time candidate who was overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork. His campaign was mostly self-funded and he did the best that he could to file the reports timely.
