| Request that the Board waive a $900 campaign finance late fee assessed against Elizabeth "Beth" Wolfe, a candidate for Judge, Court of Appeal, 1st Circuit, 3rd Dist., Division D, in the July 11, 2020 election, whose 10- G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Brandi Stevens, Treasurer, for Judge Beth Wolfe, requests a waiver and states the following:
The Candidate's Special Report was filed on July 21st and it was her incorrect thought that this was the final report that needed to be filed, not the 10-G. She assures that it was a complete mistake and not due to neglect or carelessness. As soon as the error was discovered, she called the office and spoke to Ms. Sara, when she was informed of her error. She immediately filed the necessary form. She will make sure to pay extra attention to all subsequent filings and will make sure they are filed before the due date. All forms prior to and after that have been filed before the deadline.
