| Request that the Board waive the $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against Sharlous Booker, a candidate for Member of School, Board, District 2, City of Baker, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 18 days late. |

Sharlous Booker states that this was her first time filing paperwork for an election. When reading and analyzing the instructions, from her perspective, she thought she would only need to report once when everything was finished. She asks that the fees that were incurred be waived or reviewed with a lesser amount due to her misunderstanding since this was her first late filing.
