Rick Kriseman‘s financial disclosure is a straightforward affair that reflects a career dedicated to lawsuits and public service.
Last week, the St. Petersburg mayor made his bid for a second term official, a process that includes a disclosure of his net worth, assets, and liabilities.
According to his Form 6 declaration, the first-term incumbent is worth $360,505.
As St. Pete mayor, Kriseman earned $170,906 in 2016; as a personal injury attorney, he earned another $133,171 last year.
Kriseman’s campaign said that the mayor is not actively practicing law; instead the six-figures in legal income is from settlements reached before Kriseman’s time in office.
Much of Kriseman’s wealth is based on the St. Petersburg house, valued at $650,000. His sole liability is a mortgage through Regions Mortgage Bank listed as $319,495.
Kriseman also itemized household goods and personal effects at $30,000.
Unlike almost every other candidate running for office in St. Petersburg who also has a positive net worth, Kriseman does not list owning a checking or a saving account.
It’s possible this account could be listed solely under his wife’s name, which would not require a disclosure. But if his name is on the account and it’s worth more than $1,000, it should be disclosed.
Under intangible personal property, the mayor also declared a financial interest in Fidelity Financial Services, based in Dallas, Texas, for an undisclosed amount.
On the form, Kriseman listed no other secondary source of income or real property.
