Thomas J. Spencer, III requests a waiver and states the following:
This election was his first time running for public office, and he was unfamiliar with several of the reporting requirements at the time. After receiving the NOD, he immediately filed the report and believed the matter had been resolved. The oversight was unintentional and based solely on his experience as a first-time candidate. He has since participated in a second campaign, during which all required reports were submitted on time. Mr. Spencer would like to ask that the assessed late fee be waived, reduced, or suspended.
