In connection with his request for a waiver of the $600 and $600 late fees assessed for the late filings of an EDE-P and 10-G campaign finance reports, Hillery G. Johnson, states that he is a first time candidate who made mistakes on his reports, which is why the reports were untimely filed. He further states that whenever he called to follow up after filing the reports, he was told to resubmit them, and he did. He then received a call asking that he resubmit one of his reports because he did not use the correct closing balance, and when he went online to pull up his report, it wasn't available at the time. Mr. Johnson maintains that it was not until a couple of days later that he was able to pull up his report and review the information so that he could resubmit his paperwork. Mr. Johnson is a district level candidate. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
