| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Laura Humble Culpepper, successful candidate for Clerk of Court, Jackson Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Laura Humble Culpepper requests a waiver and states the following:
This was her first time as an unopposed candidate in an election. She was totally unaware that she had to submit campaign finance reports even thought she was not involved in a campaign. She said she submitted the 30-P as soon as she received the Notice of Delinquency.
