Worth a look Unusual reporting

4 entries are withheld entirely ($4,150,000, 32% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 4 asset entries is redacted, so the public can't tell what they are. 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

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $12,994,897; listed items add up to $17,846,089

Reported net worth: $12,994,897. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $17,846,089. 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.

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

Earns from 3 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

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $3,300,000 (25% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
