| Request that the Board waive a $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael Ryan Beissinger, a candidate for State Representative, 88th Representative District, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Michael Ryan Beissinger requests a waiver and states the following:
This was his first election and he operated his campaign on a very small budget with minimal resources. He prepared his own campaign finance reports and was unaware that after the 10-P report he was required to submit additional reports other than the closeout report after the primary. He has submitted all other reports timely. He apologizes for the misunderstanding as he harbors absolutely no ill-intent or will to deceive anyone.
