This 2023 filing reports $30,266,252; the same person's 2022 filing reported $2,204,686, a change of $28,061,566 in 1 year. Listed income for 2023 was $302,467. Inheritances, home values and markets can move net worth a lot, so compare what's listed in each year to see where the change shows up.

What to check
  • Compare the assets listed in each filing: which items are new or much larger?
  • Does listed income explain the change?

Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($1,931,561) 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

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $30,266,252; listed items add up to $3,266,252

Reported net worth: $30,266,252. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,266,252. 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.

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 $30,266,252 — very wealthy 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.
