Using selenium to click a button

For clicking a button with the following HTML code:

<a href="javascript:submitPage('V','All Notes','');" class="viewFilter">All Notes</a>

I have tried multiple ways to click/ access this button but to no success, for example:

all_notes = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@href='javascript:submitPage('V','All Notes','');']"))).click()

all_notes = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//href[@type='class' and @value='View All']"))).click()

I am not really sure what the issue is here – for all other button presses on this webpage – selenium has been working appropriately. What other ways can I try?
