| Request that the Board waive a $1,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Political Organization of Women to Elect Republicans, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, JoAnn Parker, and treasurer, Gena Gore, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports was filed 7 days late. |
|
Gena Gore, PAC Treasurer requests a waiver and states the following:
When she was notified that the report was late, on November 13, she immediately contacted Angela Newsom, profusely apologized, and filed that report on that day electronically. She told Angela on that day she had to plead ignorance and was not aware that she needed to file the report due to no activity by the PAC during that time period. Again, she apologizes profusely. POWER PAC is a very small PAC with very
little money and $1400 will have a major impact on their bank account.
