Worth a look Unusual reporting

2 entries are withheld entirely ($468,436, 13% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 2 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.

Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,720,978; listed items add up to $3,379,128

Reported net worth: $3,720,978. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,379,128. Net worth roughly equals the listed assets before debts — the debts may not have been subtracted. 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

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 6–7

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 6–7).
