Request that the Board waive the $240.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Chaillie Daniel, a successful candidate for Coroner in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 4 days late.
AND
Request that the Board reinstate the suspension of the $400 reassessment against Chaillie Daniel, a successful candidate for Coroner in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late. |

Jamie Robertson, office manager for Chaillie Daniel, requests a waiver and states the following: Mr. Robertson submitted a report for the first time on 8/8/2023. He was new to the position and did not realize he needed to log in with a username and password. His misunderstanding was that when he uploaded the report, it was considered electronic. He later obtained the log-in information via e-mail and submitted the report on 9/18/2023. He would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee, since the disclosure was submitted before the due date, just not electronically. Mr. Robertson has the correct electronic filing information and states this will not be an issue in the future.
