Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($113,537) 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

Net worth $1,172,219; listed items add up to $1,172,219

Reported net worth: $1,172,219. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,172,219. 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.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

64% of listed income ($201,658) comes from Pursuit CRE, LLC

Listed income totals $313,568 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as real estate.

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”2025 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,172,219 — 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.

Rule: Net worth tier
“Report your net worth as of”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Lists 1 business under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of it

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: Pursuit CRE, LLC. That section covers banks, insurers, mortgage and small-loan companies, utilities, alcohol licensees, pari-mutuels and holders of city or county franchises — industries where officials' interests are disclosed separately.

What to check
  • Check whether the office sought oversees or contracts with these industries.
  • Look the businesses up on Sunbiz for officers and registered agents.

Rule: Stakes in closely regulated businesses
“The types of businesses covered in this section include: state and federally chartered banks”2025 Form 6 instructions, Interests in Specified Businesses ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
