Request that the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive the $600 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against Leroy Daniels, an unsuccessful candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Bunkie (Pop. 4,171), in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P and 10-P campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 28 and 7 days late, respectively. |

Original waiver request stated the following:
This is the first time he ran for a District Level office and he was not aware of the reporting requirements. He assumed he only had to file reports if he received contributions and since he did not receive any contributions of the amounts listed on the forms, he did not understand that he was still required to file. He now has a better understanding of the filing requirements and will file timely in the future. Also, he has financial hardships due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Reconsideration request states the following:
Filer was diagnosed with a serious medical issue during his campaign. He has not worked since the treatment for that issue. Filer did supply medical and financial information.
