| Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Charles Brandon Harrell, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 5, St. Tammany Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 21 days late. |
|
|
Charles Brandon Harrell states that this was his first election and he thought that the forms for the 10-G report were for those participating in the general election and the form next required to be completed was the Supplemental Report that was due on February 15, 2019. He completely self-financed his campaign and did not accept any donations or contributions. His only expenditure to report for the period covered by 10-G was a $100 payment to Bulldog Quarterback Club for an ad in their high school football program.
