Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($4,992) 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

“Bank Account” ($13,158) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $194,683; listed items add up to $117,467

Reported net worth: $194,683. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $117,467. Net worth roughly equals the listed assets before debts — the debts may not have been subtracted.

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 Income & business ties

97% of listed income ($87,861) comes from AT&T INC

Listed income totals $91,046 from 3 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 3 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
