Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fees assessed against Sharetha "Reda" Houston, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Jonesboro, Jackson Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |

Sharetha Houston states that the 10-G report was due on November 28, 2018. However, she states she was not in the general election and had no receipts or expenses after October 28, 2018. She states her receipts and expenses for the period October 9-28 were included on her 10-P report and her 30-P report included receipts and expenses for July 20 - October 8. She asks that the Board consider reducing or suspending this late fee assessment.
