Worth a look Unusual reporting

1 entry is withheld entirely ($700,100, 185% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 1 asset entry is redacted, so the public can't tell what it is. Partial redactions (an account number, or an exempt official's home address next to a named item) are common; this is the whole entry.

What to check
  • Compare with the filer's other filings, which may describe the same items.
  • The Commission on Ethics holds the unredacted filing.

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $377,713; listed items add up to $557,803

Reported net worth: $377,713. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $557,803. 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.

What to check
  • Compare the assets listed in each filing: which items are new or much larger?
  • Does listed income explain the change?
