RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Todd Gaspard, an unsuccessful candidate for Sheriff, Avoyelles Parish, in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Todd Gaspard requests a waiver and states the following: This is his first time running for office. His contributions reflect that he funded his campaign, with the exception of $1,000. He was in contact with the Board prior to being late and believed he had an extension of time. Mr. Gaspard does not intend to run for public office and would like to ask for a waiver of the assessed late fee.
