Context 8

Context Unusual reporting

Itemizes the $125,000 household-goods total

The household-goods lump sum ($125,000) is also broken down in the asset list (Household and personal reported earlier was an estimate), and the items add up exactly to it — a breakdown, which is how many filers do it. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($6,347) 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 $5,449,606; listed items add up to $5,458,873

Reported net worth: $5,449,606. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $5,458,873 (after removing the items counted twice). They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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 Missing or incomplete

$2,562,197 of assets itemized in an attachment on pages 6–14, 16–20, 22, 24–27; $2,562,197 of it couldn't be confirmed from the low-resolution pages

The form says “see attached” for 2 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 6–14, 16–20, 22, 24–27). Stocks (Truist Account)(Joint with spouse)(see attached statement) — $2,538,266: no matching amount found on the attachment; Stocks (Charles Schwab Account)(Joint with spouse)(see attached statement) — $23,931: no matching amount found on the attachment. 19 of the 19 attachment pages are low-resolution images (about 96 dpi), where digits are often misread, so these totals couldn't be checked automatically. The pages may also be holdings detail without the account summary — compare them with the form.

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
  • Compare the unmatched entries with the attachment, and with the filer's annual filing.

Rule: Itemized in an attachment

Context Income & business ties

62% of listed income ($167,871) comes from Florida Retirement

Listed income totals $269,342 from 9 sources. The largest is classed as investments & retirement.

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
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 7 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check
  • Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?

Rule: Several earned-income sources

How this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $5,449,606 — a multimillionaire 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.

Rule: Net worth tier
“Report your net worth as of”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,229,312 (23% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
