Worth a look Unusual reporting

2 entries are withheld entirely ($1,741,269, 32% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 2 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 (Circuit 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 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($359,707) 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

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $5,441,432; listed items add up to $5,300,264

Reported net worth: $5,441,432. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $5,300,264. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Missing or incomplete

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 13, 15, 18–23, 25–26, 29–30, 33, 37–38, 40–41, 46, 50, 52–53, 55–71, 73–84).

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $5,441,432 — a multimillionaire 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.
