| Request that the Board waive a $800 campaign finance late fee assessed against Manuel Russell Leach, a candidate for Governor in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
Manuel Russel Leach requests a waiver for the 30-P campaign finance report and states the following:
He was not aware a report needed to be filed. He was disqualified as a candidate on 8/19/2019. He is a single parent with all the responsibilities to provide for his children. The late fee assessment would place a burden on his family. The report reveals zero activity.
