Waiver request submitted by Hugh Matthew Andre, former member of the Louisiana Agriculture Finance Authority, regarding a $200 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 4 days late and a candidate for State Senator / 22nd Senatorial District in the October 14, 2023 election regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2022 Tier 2 candidate pfd 4 days late. |

Hugh M. Andre states that he did not submit the amended 2022 PFD on the date it was received due to internet complications. So, it was mailed. The 2021 notice to amend was never received by his office. The signature card copy has an unrecognizable signature and no printed name or date. He cannot verify that the notice was delivered to his office address either. Due to the listed reasons, he would like to request a waiver of assessed late fees.
