| Request that the Board waive the $1,000.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Sharlayne Jackson-Prevost, a successful candidate for Judge, 2nd Parish Court, Division A, Jefferson Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 2024 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 78 days late. |
|
|
Kimberly Early, on behalf of Sharlayne Jackson-Prevost, requests a waiver and states the following: Ms. Early is the treasurer, and she suffered health challenges from the end of 2024 through early 2025, which caused her to lose focus on anything other than her health and treatment plan. She also holds financial records, which caused the late filing. Moving forward, this should not be an issue since another committee member can assist in her absence.
