| Request that the Board waive a $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against LeVette Fuller, a candidate for Council, District B, City of Shreveport, Bossier and Caddo Parishes, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 97 days late. |

Kris Holland, campaign manager for LeVette Fuller, states that they were extremely dismayed to learn that this report had not been filed at the appropriate time by their campaign's acting treasurer, Anne Susman Kuperman. He states Ms. Kuperman has been responsible for filing all other reports in a timely manner and appears to have done so. However, he states they learned recently that this report had not been filed with the Ethics Board and they endeavored to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. Mrs. Fuller understands that a fine is likely to be imposed due to the extreme lateness of this report and she would like to ask the Board to consider a reduction in the fee due to their belief that this paperwork had been completed correctly as all our previous reports.
