With just over a month until the Aug. 30 primary and amidst much speculation about what it might contain, Congressional District 4 Republican candidate Hans Tanzler has finally released his financial disclosure.
Among the salient points, the 18 pages of Tanzler’s financial disclosure reveal he has a healthy retirement plan from his stint as general counsel, then executive director, of the St. Johns River Water Management District. It is valued between $50,000 and $100,000.
Also revealed: Tanzler’s salary of $173,425 from the preceding year with the SJRWMD.
Beyond that, there are some other surprises.
One such surprise is that Tanzler, who loaned his campaign $200,000 in the second quarter of 2016, does not have as much as some might expect in the way of cash holdings.
Though he has six bank accounts, only one of them has between $100,000 and $250,000. And one other has between $50,000 and $100,000.
Two accounts have less than $1,000 in them; two others, between $1,000 and $15,000.
Though Tanzler is relatively light on cash, he makes up for it with a robust investment portfolio.
The holdings of that portfolio fill 13 of the 18 pages.
Among the most interesting investments: German real estate holdings, from which Tanzler derived investment income in the previous year, though not the current year.
Apartments, condos, and office buildings in Dresden and Leipzig were part of Tanzler’s investment strategy.
