2. Penalty for Failure to File Campaign Finance Report – 2020 Candidate John DeVeau
John DeVeau was a 2020 legislative candidate. Because his campaign finance reports have indicated he continues to have a campaign surplus over $100, he has been required to file semiannual reports each January 15th and July 15th. In spite of multiple communications from Commission staff, Mr. DeVeau did not file a report due January 15, 2025. Staff recommendation: staff recommends assessing a penalty of $500.
Motion: To find the report was unfiled, assess a penalty of $500 and refer the case to the Attorney General's office for further consideration
