| Request that the Board waive a $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Carl "Doug" Sias, a candidate for Natchitoches Parish President in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 14 days late. |

Carl Douglas Sias requests a waiver for the 30-P
campaign finance report
and states the following:
This is his first time running for a major position and he didn't realize nor understand that he had to file the reports online. He honestly thought after sending the financial disclosure and electronic affidavit he was done with all filing. After receiving the NOD and speaking with someone to explain to him what was being required, the report was submitted. He is on a fixed income.
