Request that the Board waive three (3) $1,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Danny Roy Lewis, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Homer, Claiborne Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 30-P, 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 164, 144 and 114 days late, respectively. |
|
Danny Roy Lewis states that he only spent $783.29 for the entire election and only had $500.00 in contributions. Since he spent less than $2,500 on his re-election campaign, he mistakenly thought he was only subject to the final /annual submission. In the past, all of his campaign reports and personal financial disclosures have always been filed on time and in order.
