$79,392 of assets are only in an attachment that isn't in this copy (8% of net worth)

The form points to an attachment for this asset entry ($79,392), but this copy doesn't include it, so what it covers is unknown from this record. No page in this document lists the attached items.

What to check
  • The attachment may be on file with the Commission on Ethics — check the filer's annual filing.
  • Until then, totals that include this entry can't be checked.

Rule: Attachment missing from public copy

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($79,392) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments
“Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan, is your asset”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,031,480; listed items add up to $266,480

Reported net worth: $1,031,480. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $266,480. 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.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

62% of listed income ($141,452) comes from Cantrell Foods LLC

Listed income totals $229,140 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as other / unclassified.

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.

Rule: Where the money comes from

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,031,480 — 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.
