| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Raymond S. Childress, a successful candidate for District Judge, 22nd Judicial District Court, Division A, St. Tammany Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 28 days late. |
|
Raymond S Childress requests a waiver and states the following:
He qualified for re-election on 7/22/20 and acknowledged that he received material from Ethics. He did not have a campaign committee nor did he solicit or receive any contributions. He reviewed the materials provided and was uncertain if he would be required to file reports. He contacted his CPA who also felt he would not be required to file due to no activity. Obviously, he was incorrect. On 8/20/20, he received the notice of delinquency dated 8/7/20 and he immediately called his CPA to file an electronic filing affidavit and, on 9/2/20, he filed the report.
