RE:
Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lee V. Faulkner, Jr., a candidate for District Judge, 24th Judicial District Court, ES 3, Div. P, Jefferson Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Cheryl Williams Mosley, report preparer for Lee V. Faulkner, Jr. requests a waiver and states the following:

She apologizes for failing to timely file the campaign finance report for the Committee to Elect Lee V. Faulkner, Jr. The campaign finance report was not timely filed because her undivided attention and focus was directed towards her father's health and recovery. Her father was hospitalized and under doctors' care for numerous life threatening illnesses. Due to his illnesses, he has required almost twenty-four hours of care. She along with her sister are her father's sole caretakers.
