| Request that the Board waive each of the $80, $280 and $400 campaign finance late fees assessed against Jason Landry, a successful candidate for Constable, Justice of the Peace Ward B, St. Bernard Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 10-P, 10-G and 40-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 2, 7 and 11 days late, respectively. |
|
Jason Landry requests a waiver and states the following:
He is sincerely sorry for the mistakes he made in his campaign. He takes full responsibility for his mistakes and states he ran his own campaign with very little help. He was working full time and campaigning. Once elected, he was concentrating on learning his duties as constable. He overlooked the details of his election paperwork. The fines will be a hardship on him and his family. He said he will not make this mistake again.
