| Request that the Board waive the $2,500 campaign finance late fee assessed against Robin Pittman, a candidate for Judge, Court of Appeal, 4th Circuit, 1st District, Division F, Orleans Parish, and her committee's chairperson, Andrea Mumford, and treasurer, Angela Davis, in the March 24, 2018 election, whose 180-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 155 days late. |
|
Scott L. Sternberg, attorney for Robin Pittman and her campaign committee, states the error was made by the professional the candidate employed to prepare her reports and was simply overlooked. He states the report had expenditures for other groups' fundraisers and charitable causes, and some campaign preparation expenses such as a Website. He states that there were no contributions during that reporting period.
