RE:
Request that the Board waive a $360 and $300 campaign finance late fees (total $660) assessed against Dele Adebamiji, an unsuccessful candidate for District Judge, 19th Judicial District Court, ES 1, Div. O, EBR Parish, in the October 11, 2025 election, whose 30-P and 2025 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 8 and 7 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Dele Adebamiji requests a waiver and states the following: There was no malicious intent to defy the Board. The report was submitted untimely due to an error in calendaring the response, as he was caught up with some cases for both late fees. Since then, all errors have been corrected, and all other reports have been filed electronically. Please waive the assessed late fee.
