| Request that the Board waive the $100 late fee assessed against Ryan "Badd Biddness" Carter, an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor-President, Metro Council, City of Baton Rouge in the November 5, 2024 election, whose 10-G campaign finance report was filed 5 days late. |

Ryan Carter submitted a waiver and states the following:
At the time of the 10-P report submission, the public knew that Ryan Carter was running his own campaign. He did not have a manager or fundraiser. Mr. Carter resided at the Salvation Army Center of Hope here in Baton Rouge, and his only form of transportation was the Capital Area Transit System. So, daily travel was challenging at times. Each day began at 5 am and ended at 10 pm. Mr. Carter also had several doctor visits as a result of health issues during and post-campaign. This added additional stress to his campaigning.
