Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,398,655; listed items add up to $1,303,120

Reported net worth: $1,398,655. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,303,120. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 5–17

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 5–17).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.

What to check

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.

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,133,454 across 3 properties (81% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
