Worth a lookIncome & business ties
Judicial Circuit (2Nd): no income listed, though the office pays a salary
The filer held Judicial Circuit (2Nd) in 2023, a salaried public office, but the primary sources of income are left empty, and no tax return is attached instead.
What to check
Check the income page of the original: the salary may be listed under another name.
Check that they were paid in office all year: the Commission keeps listing a suspended or departed official under the office, and a new term may start partway through the year.
Some officials decline or donate their salary; the form still asks for income received.
Rule: Paid public office, but no public salary listed
