Worth a lookUnusual reporting
24 entries are withheld entirely ($1,366,748, 35% of net worth)
In the public copy, the whole description of 24 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.
