Context 5
ContextUnusual reporting
Lists 2023 Ford Maverick truck separately from the $15,000 household-goods total
Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.
What to check
No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.
Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
ContextUnusual reporting
Lists 2 investment accounts ($279,116) 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”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

What to check
No action needed unless other items look off.

Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
Rule: Real estate holdings
