In connection with his request for a waiver of the $360 late fee assessed for the late filing of the 10-G campaign finance report, Jerry Clark states that he is a first time candidate, who was being advised by an individual who had experience filing campaign finance reports. He maintains that he timely filed his 10-G report on paper form, however, he was unaware of the requirement to electronically file reports once contributions or expenditures exceeded $25,000. It was when he received notice from the Campaign Finance division, that he became aware of the requirement. He electronically filed his report, as soon as possible. Mr. Clark is a district level candidate. He was a successful candidate.
