| Request that the Board waive the three (3) $600 campaign finance late fees assessed against Shawn Lockett, a candidate for State Representative, 100th Representative District in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2017, 2018 and 2019 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 755, 451 and 83 days late, respectively. |
|
Shawn Lockett requests a waiver and states the following:
During the years in which reports were due, he was only required to file the Supplemental Reports because he loaned himself in excessive of $10,000 to finance his campaign. He did not receive contributions or make payments on that loan after the election, as reflected in his reports. After a few years of filing the supplemental reports, he did not receive notice to file another supplemental report. His wife, Melanie Lockett, called the office on his behalf to inquire about the requirement and he states she was advised that he no longer needed to file Supplemental Reports for the 2005 campaign.
