Worth a look Unusual reporting

1 entry is withheld entirely ($370,200, 40% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 1 asset entry is redacted, so the public can't tell what it is. 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

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Net worth $933,093; listed items add up to $933,093

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
