Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 2 investment accounts ($96,892) 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

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,882,226; listed items add up to $1,982,166

Reported net worth: $1,882,226. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,982,166. The difference matches the household goods, which the filer may have left out of net worth.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth rose from $1,111,008 (2024) to $1,882,226 (2025) — 1.7×

This 2025 filing reports $1,882,226; the same person's 2024 filing reported $1,111,008, a change of $771,218 in 1 year. Listed income for 2025 was $180,167. Inheritances, home values and markets can move net worth a lot, so compare what's listed in each year to see where the change shows up.

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

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