Sheldon Vincent, Sr. requests a waiver and states the following:
That Sunday after qualifying had to take his wife to the emergency room because she had a severe headache. Afterwards, ex-rays revealed a blood vessel bleeding from her brain, She would spend most of the following week in the hospital trying to get her blood pressure under control. In addition, his wife had a operation schedule for the end of September 2019 which included two additional emergency room visits, weeks of home health care, medical appointments and long recovery period. He did not make any expenditures passed what was reported in the report due October 12, 2019. He did not o file a 10th Day prior General Report (1O-G) report, because to him the rules seem to
state that since he lost in the primary no report was required.
