| Request that the Board waive a $240 campaign finance late fee assessed against David Kenneth Hedrick, Jr., a candidate for Sheriff in a future election, Concordia Parish, whose 2018 Annual campaign finance disclosure report was filed 53 days late. |
|
David Kenneth Hedrick, Jr., states that his report was completed and faxed to the Louisiana Board of Ethics' office on February 13, 2019 at 11:48 a.m. At that time he had not received a LEADER board login and was unaware that as a District level candidate he could not mail or fax the reports in to the Ethics' office.
The February 13, 2019 faxed report was received and accepted by the Ethics' office but was added under David Kenneth Hedrick, Sr.'s name (Current Sheriff of Concordia Parish) reports. He states he was never notified that these forms could not be faxed nor was he informed that the report had been filed under the wrong candidate's name. A member of his committee called to inquire about the processing of the report and was only then informed that the report had been entered in under the wrong candidate name. Upon learning of this error, the report was completed and uploaded on the Leader Board on April 9, 2019.
