Worth a lookUnusual reporting
3 entries are withheld entirely ($1,900,000, 31% of net worth)
In the public copy, the whole description of 3 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.

Worth a lookIncome & business ties
No major clients listed for Venice Pier Group Inc, which paid them $99,831
Owners of more than 5% of a business who received more than $1,000 from it must list the business's customers or clients that provided more than 10% of its gross income. The secondary income section is empty or N/A. That's correct only if no single customer exceeded 10% — the form doesn't say.
What to check
For a small or one-person business, it is unusual for no client to exceed 10% of revenue.
Check the business's public contracts or listings for major clients.
Rule: Business owner with no major clients listed
“If your ownership and gross income exceeded the two thresholds listed above, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity's gross income”2025 Form 6 instructions, Income — Secondary Sources ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

ContextUnusual reporting
Lists 4 investment accounts ($559,485) 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
