RE:
Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lawrence "L T" Dupre, an unsuccessful candidate for City Judge, City Court, City of Zachary in the November 8, 2022 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
Lawrence "L T" Dupre and Jennifer Boyd request a waiver and state the following:

He and the committee treasurer, Jennifer Boyd, believed that the 10-G was not required to be filed since he didn't make the runoff and his candidacy ended during the primary. Ms. Boyd intended to file the 40-G instead to report an account closure for the committee. Upon learning that the 10-G was needed, she filed immediately. They are both asking for the assessment to be waived.
