Roberta Brown, Chairperson for Women On The Move, (WotM), states the following: Initially, the organization decided not to participate in the 2022 election. After numerous calls from candidates and the community, they decided to participate, which was after the initial reporting period. All subsequent reports were filed timely. Angela Scott spoke with a Board of Ethics representative on 8/16/2023 and was told to write a letter detailing the events for said election. It is understood that filing is due upon participation in an election. Ms. Brown would like to ask that the Board consider this explanation and that they did follow the guidelines.
