RE:
Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Laurie Reis Brister, a candidate for District Judge, 6th Judicial District Court, East Carroll, Madison and Tensas Parishes, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
Sherry Hamilton, report preparer for Laurie Reis Brister, states that she misunderstood the filing requirement for the 10-G report because Ms. Brister was elected in the primary election and did not participate in the general election. She states that upon receipt of the late notification, she immediately filed the report.
