RE:
Request that the Board waive a $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Willie Bradford, in his capacity as a candidate for Councilman, District A, City of Shreveport, Bossier & Caddo Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
Willie Bradford, states that shortly before the November 6, 2018 primary election, he received one last minute contribution over $250 and for December 8, 2018 general election he received four last minute contributions over $250. He states that he did not notice that he was to report them prior to that election. He overlooked the requirement to file the Special report. At the times he felt that listing them on the 10-G Report and 40-G Report was all that he had to do.
