Worth a look Unusual reporting

1 entry is withheld entirely ($495,000, 27% 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
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists Automobiles separately from the $143,200 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($239,000) 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 $1,862,745; listed items add up to $2,087,845

Reported net worth: $1,862,745. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $2,087,845. The difference matches the household goods, which the filer may have left out of net worth.

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 Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,862,745 — 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
“Report your net worth as of”2022 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
