RE:
Request that the Board waive the $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against Roderick Hampton, a successful candidate for Mayor, Town of Haynesville (Population 985) in the November 8, 2022, whose 2022 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 18 days late.
Facts:
Roderick Hampton requests a waiver and states the following:

His daughter was born on 1/28/2023. Prior to her arrival, there were several false alarms. Unfortunately, Mr. Hampton overlooked filing the necessary paperwork on time due to his recent appointment as Mayor of the Town of Haynesville and the birth of his child. To avoid similar oversights in the future, he has implemented preventative measures. Mr. Hampton kindly requests that you consider waiving the late fee that has been assessed.
