Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,361,818; listed items add up to $2,920,367

Reported net worth: $2,361,818. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $2,920,367. 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. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

Context Missing or incomplete

$89,226 of assets itemized in an attachment on page 5; $89,226 of it isn't found there

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (page 5). Edward Jones: See attached — $89,226: no matching amount found on the attachment. An entry with no matching amount may be on a page that isn't in this copy, or the attachment may total it differently (or OCR misread it) — compare the page 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.

Context Income & business ties

82% of listed income ($196,276) comes from Polk County Supervisor of Elections

Listed income totals $239,276 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.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $2,361,818 — a millionaire 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.
