RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Ragen Borel, an unsuccessful candidate for Member of School Board, District 3, Iberia Parish in the November 8, 2022 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late.
Facts:
Ragen Borel requests a waiver and states the following:

She and her campaign team take their filing obligations seriously and acted immediately upon receiving the notice of the missed deadline. All of her previous reports were filed timely. Less than $900 was spent and less than $150 was contributed to the campaign. No personal funds were used. This was Ms. Borel's first time running for an elected position. She takes full responsibility for the missed deadline but hopes you will consider this a learning opportunity and not impose an undue financial burden on her campaign.
