| Request that the Board waive a $760 and $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Patrick R. Young, a candidate for Justice of the Peace, Ward 8 in Caddo Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 19 and 64 days late, respectively. |
|
Patrick R. Young requests a waiver and states the following:
This is his first election and he also had a volunteer assisting him. When he was made aware of the late filing, he immediately filed the 30-P report. He was not aware that another report, the 10-G, was also due. He is self-employed, his wife just had a baby, and the volunteer has a full time job.
