Worth a look Unusual reporting

Reports a $1,485,791 net worth but lists no assets (only $250,000 of household goods)

The assets section is marked “N/A”, yet net worth is $1,485,791. Every asset worth more than $1,000 has to be listed, so about $1,235,791 of what this filer owns isn't shown.

What to check
  • Compare with the filer's other filings: which assets did they list before?
  • Which accounts would produce the income listed?

Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,485,791; listed items add up to -$303,266

Reported net worth: $1,485,791. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$303,266. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Context Income & business ties

64% of listed income ($164,633) comes from Florida Retirement System

Listed income totals $256,605 from 4 sources. The largest is classed as investments & retirement.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,485,791 — a millionaire on paper

Net worth is the filer's own figure. Being wealthy isn't a problem; it's context for comparing candidates and for reading the rest of the form.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
