Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($22,533) 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”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $216,427; listed items add up to $216,428

Reported net worth: $216,427. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $216,428. They roughly agree. 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
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on page 6 of the original filing

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and the amendment left this section as originally filed, and the original includes the attachment (page 6 of the original filing).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
Rule: Itemized in an attachment
“A filer may include and submit attachments or other supporting documentation when filing”2022 Form 6 instructions, Attachments ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

93% of listed income ($20,755) comes from School District of DeSoto County

Listed income totals $22,255 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”2022 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
