Request that the Board waive a $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Clinton Sweeney, a candidate for Sheriff, Iberia Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late. |
|
Clinton Sweeney requests a waiver and states the following:
He was offshore at the time and his campaign person did the financial statement the night before the due date and was sure she had submitted them. He was on the phone with Ms. Fuselier when she was doing the report and he asked her if she had hit submit button and she confirmed. She didn't get the confirmation e-mail and he didn't think to double check his e-mail, so they didn't know it was not filed. When he received the late notice, they submitted it immediately. This was his first time running for office and her fist time ever filing this type of report.
