RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Tammy M. Stewart, a candidate for Judge, Juvenile Court, Section B, Orleans Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 90-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late.
Facts:
Tammy M. Stewart requests a waiver and states the following:


The tardiness of her filing was an error in her understanding of the applicable law. She did not accept, distribute or collect any campaign funds during the course of this election. Therefore, she erroneously believed a report was not required to be filed. She filed upon receiving notification of the late filing.
