Worth a look Unusual reporting

3 entries are withheld entirely ($3,250,000, 89% 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. The filer holds a position (County Judge) listed in s. 119.071, F.S., whose home address or other information the Commission keeps confidential on request, so these redactions may be lawful — though several whole entries go beyond a home address.

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 Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,647,890; listed items add up to $3,747,910

Reported net worth: $3,647,890. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,747,910. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check

100% of listed income ($159,119) comes from The State of Florida (salary)

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
