Context 6

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($314,811) 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 $24,100,000; listed items add up to $24,049,829

Reported net worth: $24,100,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $24,049,829. They roughly agree.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Income & business ties

90% of listed income ($5,076,923) comes from Longfellow Ave LLC

Listed income totals $5,615,485 from 6 sources. The largest is classed as other / unclassified.

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.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2023 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 5 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check
  • Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?

Rule: Several earned-income sources

  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $18,775,017 across 2 properties (78% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check

  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
