Waiver request submitted by T. "Dori" Telsee, candidate for Mayor / Town of Campti (Pop. 887) / Natchitoches Parish, in the November 8, 2022 election, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for failing to file her 2021 Tier 3 candidate. |
|
Dorianna Telsee is pursuing her masters in social work at Louisiana Christian University while working multiple jobs and internships. She is also a caregiver for her mother. She intended to be her best for her community but overextended herself. For this reason and financial hardship, Ms. Telsee would like to request a waiver of her assessed late fee.
Staff Notes: As of today, Ms. Telsee has failed to file the candidate report after being contacted twice by the PFD Director.
