Nothing stood out under the current rules.

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

All 8 asset values are round numbers

Every listed asset is valued in round thousands, which suggests estimates rather than statements or appraisals. That's allowed, but it makes the totals less precise.

What to check
  • Are bank or brokerage balances (which are exact) rounded too?

Rule: All values are round numbers

How this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,192,500; listed items add up to $3,212,500

Reported net worth: $3,192,500. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,212,500. They roughly agree.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $3,192,500 — 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

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $4,800,000 across 5 properties (150% 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
