In connection with his request for a waiver of the $840 late fee assessed for the late filing of the 10-G campaign finance report, Chad Clark states that his campaign treasurer submitted his report electronically on the date it was due. However, on November 23, 2011 he received notice from the Campaign Finance division stating that the report had not been received. His campaign treasurer immediately re-submitted the report upon receipt of the notice. He states that, in an attempt to locate the original report transmittal, his treasurer followed up with the IT division on November 28, 2011, to no avail. Mr. Clark is a district level candidate. This is his first campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
