Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($5,949) 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”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“IRA” ($5,949) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth -$30,167; listed items add up to -$20,167

Reported net worth: -$30,167. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$20,167. They roughly agree.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

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

Context Income & business ties

92% of listed income ($177,263) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $193,074 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

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.
