Cade Williams states that it came to his attention that he failed to file reports by deadlines. He states that he accepted no campaign donations and kept expenditures under $100. He stated that he entered this race to learn more of the political system and perhaps do good in his community by inspiring other young people to take action for what they believe in, not to break any rules. He asks that the Board waive the fees assessed unto him during the election year. He states that he is 18 years of age, currently enrolled as a Senior at the Dunham School, and would be severely affected at this point his life by a major fine.
