I did the general Google search and like you found wide variations. I did find his 2023 disclosure. Interesting to note it showed him basically being a pauper. Among his assets not listed was his home in Ohio. I thought maybe it was in his wife’s name or was owned by family. According to the Auditor in the county he lives in, it’s his. Oversight or purposeful?

Oversight or purposeful?

Who knows? Politicians have been revising their financial statements ever since they were created. Maybe they were oversights, maybe the law was unclear on what needed to be reported, maybe the law changed since the last time a financial statement was reported?

Let's say his home was NOT listed for some nefarious reason. That still doesn't account for $20+ million or some such number of gain while in office. That home would have been his when he took office, not a fruit of office.

You're looking for evidence of insider trading, kickbacks, illegal income streams, land purchases based on knowledge of future legislation, that sort of thing. Not inheritances or homesteads.

But I applaud you for verifying my searches with your own.
