Worth a lookUnusual reporting
2 entries are withheld entirely ($5,761,130, 87% of net worth)
In the public copy, the whole description of 2 asset entries is redacted, so the public can't tell what they are. 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.

Context 6
ContextUnusual reporting
Net worth $6,610,027; listed items add up to $4,326,130
Reported net worth: $6,610,027. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $4,326,130. 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.
