| Request that the Board waive the $800 campaign finance late fee assessed Marcus DeLarge, a successful candidate for Judge, Criminal District Court, Section K, Orleans Parish, his committee's chairperson, Sean A. Blondell, and treasurer, Krystal Ancar, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
Krystal Ancar, report preparer for Marcus DeLarge, requests a waiver and states the following:
It was an oversight on her part. She tested positive for Covid 19 on 12/8/2020 and was still in recovery until the end of January 2021. She is still not 100% and due to her fatigue and memory fog, she failed to submit the report timely. She did not realize it until the candidate called her concerning the letter stating his report was not filed. Upon being informed, she immediately submitted the report.
