| Request that the Board waive the $1,000, $400, $400 and $704 campaign finance late fees assessed against Darwin Bradley "Brad" Adams, a candidate for Police Juror, District 5B, Concordia Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P, 10-P, 10-G and 40-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 173, 153, 118 and 39 days late, respectively. |

Brad Adams request a waiver and state the following:
This is his first time to ever run for or be elected for any type of political position. At the time he began his campaign in early 2019, he had no knowledge of any of these reports. In August, he received the candidate packet, he was completely overwhelmed. He thought only one report would need to be done, at the time he took office and then the election process was completely over. It was not until he attended an ethics class with the rest of the Jurors for his parish, that he realized these reports were late. He and his wife worked very hard to fill them out, and he still wasn't sure they understood the correct way to fill in the answers.
