| Request that the Board waive a $1,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Les Femmes PAC, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Kea Sherman, and treasurer, William Vanderbrook, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
William Vanderbrook, PAC Treasurer requests a waiver and states the following:
They supported a candidate in the primary election; however, they did not support this candidate in the general election. The only form of support was a contribution check for $500 written on 4/30/2020. Since the PAC did not participate in the General Election, it was not required to file a 40-G and is not subject to a late filing penalty. The Annual report was filed timely and covered the appropriate period 11/16-12/31/2020.
