| Request that the Board waive a $300 campaign finance late fee assessed against Beau Brock, a candidate for District Judge, 19th Judicial District Court, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late. |
|
Liz Jenkins, report preparer for Beau Brock, requests a waiver and states the following: This is her first political campaign. She doesn't want to see the candidate's record tarnished because of her mistake. She entered the data for the report and saved it so she could continue working on it. She finished entering the data, reviewed and printed the report, then e-mailed it to the committee with a note that the 10-P was filed, not realizing that she didn't press the submit button. Filing reports in Leaders was new to her and she simply made an error.
