RE:
Request that the Board waive a $440 campaign finance late fee assessed Doris White, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Cullen, Webster Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late.
Facts:
Doris White requests a waiver and states the following:


The corona virus struck her and her family. The dates of the qualifying changed for the office of Mayor and the lack of knowledge of filing was different of that of an Alderman. She did not fully understand what paperwork needed to be completed. She asks for consideration due to her financial hardship.
