Worth a look Unusual reporting

2 entries are withheld entirely ($486,776, 15% 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.

Rule: Entries withheld entirely

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,140,633; listed items add up to $3,140,489

Reported net worth: $3,140,633. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,140,489. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 6–19 of the original filing

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and the amendment left this section as originally filed, and the original includes the attachment (pages 6–19 of the original filing).

What to check

What to check

  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
