Schuyler Marvin, a successful candidate for District Attorney, 26th Judicial District Court, Bossier and Webster Parishes, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 2020 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 18 days late. |

Angela Lawrence, treasurer for J. Schuyler Marvin, requests a waiver and states the following:
She requested an extension of the due date, but was told that was not allowed and that she can request a waiver of the late fee. She is requesting the waiver for several issues including the change in the Treasurer for the campaign on 2/15/21. Their offices were significantly impacted by COVID shutdowns as well as water and electrical outages from the February ice storms in North Louisiana.
