| Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against John A. Keller, a candidate for Council Member III, City of Mandeville, St. Tammany Parish, in the March 5, 2016 election, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late. |

John A. Keller states that he only has $749.06 left in his campaign account. The notice reminding him to file the Supplemental Campaign Finance Disclosure Report was sent to his home address at 2875 Villere Street, Mandeville, Louisiana. He has a large family and often times does not receive mail addressed to him. For this reason, he normally has all important mail and bills sent directly to his office at 506 Water Street, Suite B, Madisonville, LA 70447. He has now made a request that the Louisiana Board of Ethics change his address to his office address.
