Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fees assessed against Victor J. Woods, Jr., a candidate for State Representative, Dist 29, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the April 9, 2016 election, whose 2017 Supplemental campaign finance report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Victor J. Woods, Jr. states that he erroneously believed that loans were written off on his last report filed in 2017. Upon realizing his error, he states he filed the campaign report immediately. He states no other campaign political activity or fundraising was done in 2017, and it was his intent to show the loans made to himself were forgiven in 2017.
