| Request that the Board waive a $640 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jackie Ju Ju Vallare, a candidate for Alderman, Ward 2, City of Eunice, Acadia and St. Landry Parishes, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 16 days late. |
|
Jackie Vallare states that she does not have $640.00 to pay the late fee for the 10-G report. Secondly, this campaign is her very first experience in running as a candidate for a public office. She presented herself as a candidate and tried to meet all the deadlines but came up short. She states she was totally disappointed in losing the race and did not have an experienced support system in place to advise her through the required filings.
