| Request that the Board waive the three (3) $2,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Henry Ford, a candidate for Sheriff, Bienville Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P, 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 181, 161 and 126 days late, respectively. |

Henry Ford requests a waiver and states the following:
He believed that he was acting correctly and his information was current. This is his first time seeking public office and he paid for this campaign with his own funds. He was only trying to be a public servant and not rely upon others financially for his campaign.
