Dawn D. Gray is submitting this letter as a mercy and plea to have the late fee of $850 waived. She apologizes for not following up with the receipt of the documents. All of her previous documents had been provided timely. Shortly after the runoff election in November 2019, we were in a pandemic. Due to not being able to follow up to as if or what documents needed to be completed, she can't say if they were received or not. She had not received any notices about filing, so she believed they had been received and she was still in good standing. Ms. Gray did not receive any financial contributions in the runoff election. She states she is unable to pay the late fees at this time.
