Worth a look 1

Worth a look Unusual reporting

2 entries are withheld entirely ($185,775, 34% 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.

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 3

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $548,767; listed items add up to $491,617

Reported net worth: $548,767. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $491,617. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.

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