Tyra Duhe-Griffin filed a waiver request and stated:
Due to several transitional misfortunes at her place of employment. She was a victim of workplace harassment and unfair demotion that caused a financial hardship, as well as mental anguish. This was her first time running for office, she was not aware she had to file campaign reports after the run-off election. Unfortunately, she allowed her personal afflictions affect her professional responsibilities.
