| Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Kenneth J. Krefft, a candidate for Mayor, City of Shreveport in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 153 days late. |
|
|
Kenneth J. Krefft states that he filed as a candidate to run for Mayor of Shreveport, LA. Then he withdrew formally on the final qualifying day. He was not on the 11/6/18 electoral ballot. He received no donations and spent no money. He misunderstood when he spoke a staff member by phone and thought he had to first hear back from the Louisiana Board of Ethics on the waiver results prior to filing the 30-P Campaign Finance Disclosure Report.
