| Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Adrian Perkins, a candidate for Mayor, City of Shreveport, Bossier & Caddo Parishes, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

Ashton M. Jackson, campaign treasurer for Adrian Perkins, states that the delay was due to an oversight on his part. He originally thought the 40-G was due around the same time the Supplemental & Annual report was due -- which was February 15, 2019. When it was brought to his attention that it was late, January 24, 2019, he immediately rectified the situation by filing that day. To avoid this honest mistake from happening again in the future, he has taken the necessary steps to deploy a system where upcoming reporting deadlines are displayed in several areas to serve as constant reminders. All other filings were timely filed.
