Waiver request submitted by Nathanaela "Nate" Andrew Alexander, candidate for Aldermen / Town of Livingston / Livingston Parish in the November 5, 2024 election, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2023 Tier 3 candidate pfd 98 days late. |

Nathanaela Alexander received the FTF notice but uploaded the incorrect statement. This was his first time, and he was told that since he did not hold an elected position in 2023, the Candidate Financial Statement was what he needed. He did not learn of this error until 11/18/2024 when he submitted the correct statement. Mr. Alexander would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but it was unintentional. He had a detailed conversation with a BOE representative, discussing which annual documents will be needed moving forward and the deadlines. Mr. Alexander appreciates your consideration and would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
