Joseph Potts, Jr., treasurer for Jefferson Federation of Teachers Comm on Political Education, states that there was no activity for this filing period. Upon receipt of the failure to file notice, he contacted the Ethics office and was informed they should file a report even though they had no activity. He immediately filed a report.
