Worth a look 1

Worth a look Missing or incomplete

All assets are listed only as “see attached”, and the attachment isn't in this copy

The assets section gives no entries of its own — only a pointer to an attachment that this copy doesn't include, so the public can't see any of them. No page in this document lists the attached items (other pages: p5: blank).

What to check
  • The attachment may be on file with the Commission on Ethics — check the filer's annual filing.
  • Until then, totals that include this entry can't be checked.

Rule: Attachment missing from public copy

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,569,917; listed items add up to -$419,900

Reported net worth: $1,569,917. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$419,900. 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. 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

Context Income & business ties

92% of listed income ($180,616) comes from STATE OF FLORIDA

Listed income totals $195,327 from 3 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,569,917 — a millionaire 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.
