RE:
Request that the Board waive a $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael A. McNab, an unsuccessful candidate for Justice of the Peace, Justice of the Peace Ward F, St. Bernard Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Michael A. McNab requests a waiver and states the following:

At the time that the report was due, filer was dealing with a lot of family issues and this report just slipped his mind. He just lost the election, a position that he had held for the past 12 years. At the same time, he and his family were dealing with the death of his father-in-law. They were also recovering from the lingering effects and damages caused by Hurricane Zeta for which they did not regain power to their home until the day before the election. Right after the election, he found out that his boss was put into hospice care and he passed away shortly after. The stress was overwhelming because of losing his elected position and the possibility of losing his primary job leaving no way to support his family. He would also like to note that he did forward his report the day that he received the letter in the mail.
