Melissa Duhon is requesting a waiver of the assessed late fee on behalf of Judge John Shea, in response to the notice dated 2/28/2023. Judge Shea complied with all the other filing requirements and timely filed all reports associated with his 2022 campaign for re-election. His history of filing timely dates back to his first campaign, an election in 2009. Judge Shea did not willfully or knowingly ignore the filing of this report. It was an oversight and relevant transactions were included on the 10-G report, which was timely filed. Your consideration of the above facts is greatly appreciated.
