Worth a look 1

Worth a look Unusual reporting

1 entry is withheld entirely ($428,100, 111% 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.

Rule: Entries withheld entirely
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 2

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($1,288) 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 $384,608; listed items add up to $384,608

Reported net worth: $384,608. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $384,608. They roughly agree.

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
