| Request that the Board waive the $120 campaign finance late fee assessed against Tania Nyman, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 7, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late. |

Tania Nyman states that her failure to file the report on October 9th was due entirely to her inexperience and her mistaken belief that she had filed the report on Friday, October 5th prior to the October 9th deadline. Because this was her first run for office and the first time filing a report, she states she was unfamiliar with the procedure and did not realize she didn't complete the process to confirm submission. As soon as she was made aware of the mistake, she submitted the report.
