Context 8

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 2 investment accounts ($253,530) 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

“IRA” ($125,680) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“401K” ($127,850) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $4,832,714; listed items add up to $5,085,965

Reported net worth: $4,832,714. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $5,085,965. 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 Income & business ties

Earns from 3 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check
  • Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?

Rule: Several earned-income sources

How this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $4,832,714 — 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

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,622,061 across 7 properties (34% 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
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Lists 2 businesses under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of all of them

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: Hawks Nest Ventures LLC, Fair Winds Capital LLCX. That section covers banks, insurers, mortgage and small-loan companies, utilities, alcohol licensees, pari-mutuels and holders of city or county franchises — industries where officials' interests are disclosed separately.

What to check
  • Check whether the office sought oversees or contracts with these industries.
  • Look the businesses up on Sunbiz for officers and registered agents.

Rule: Stakes in closely regulated businesses
“The types of businesses covered in this section include: state and federally chartered banks”2022 Form 6 instructions, Interests in Specified Businesses ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
