Request that the Board waive the $2,000.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gloria R. Robertson, an unsuccessful candidate for State Representative, 50th Representative District in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 215 days late. |
|
Gloria R. Robertson requests a waiver and states the following: After not making the primary, she experienced a hardship with her family. Her mother and ten-year-old daughter passed away, so she was in a terrible situation attempting to figure things out. Ms. Robertson respects the rules, but she needed help with specific paperwork. She financed her campaign and only received a $10 donation.
