| Request that the Board waive the two (2) $400.00 campaign finance late fees ($800.00 total) assessed against Tambra "Tammy" Cook, an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor-President, Metro Council, City of Baton Rouge in the November 5, 2024 election, whose 90-P and 30-P campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 6 & 5 days late, respectively. |
|
Tambra "Tammy" Cook requests a waiver and states the following: She did not raise any money during her candidacy for mayor. It was her first attempt to run for public office, and the information was overwhelming. She is a solid, law-abiding citizen who has raised four children while trying to do what she believed was needed for her community. On 8/2/2024, she withdrew her candidacy, but her name could not be taken off the ballot, and all filings had to continue.
