Context 7

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($493,848) 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”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,862,927; listed items add up to $3,862,927

Reported net worth: $3,862,927. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,862,927. 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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

84% of listed income ($196,898) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $233,139 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.

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”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $3,862,927 — 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”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $3,232,331 across 10 properties (84% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check

“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
