Worth a look Unusual reporting

3 entries are withheld entirely ($4,650,000, 30% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 3 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.

Rule: Entries withheld entirely

Context 6

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 4 investment accounts ($1,262,764) 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 $15,323,722; listed items add up to $15,026,629

Reported net worth: $15,323,722. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $15,026,629. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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 Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 5–6

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 5–6).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
Rule: Itemized in an attachment

Context Income & business ties

100% of listed income ($182,060) comes from State of Florida, 17thh Judicial Circuit

Listed income totals $182,060 from 1 source. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2022 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $15,323,722 — a multimillionaire 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 $4,200,000 (27% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
