| Request that the Board waive the $240 campaign finance late fee assessed against John C. "Clay" Hamilton, a successful candidate for District Judge, 5th JDC, Div. A, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 2024 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late. |
|
John C. Hamilton requests a wavier and states the following: After receiving the NOD, Mr. Hamilton contacted a BOE representative and was guided through the filing process. Mr. Hamilton inquired whether he should have received a notification of the pending report due date. He was told that a notice would be sent to the individual who prepared and filed the report. That person was his CPA's wife, who retired over a year earlier and had closed out her PO Box, which was listed in the BOE records. The forwarding address had long since expired before the notification of the due date was mailed, so they never received the notice.
