How this is counted is explained in how we count.

Council rezonings are heard as public hearings; the procedural motions each hearing generates are excluded, and only the vote on the case itself is counted.

On contested votes, sided with development
89%
62 with, 8 against, of 70 votes where anyone objected
On every zoning vote

Net worth, public salary and total income are as reported on this official's own Form 6 filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics; each figure carries its form year, the date it was filed and the date the net worth speaks to. Pass rate is about what this official put on the agenda, not the motions they made: it counts sponsored items the board decided, passed against failed. Items that carry no motion at all, such as reports and special appearances, are counted separately and left out of the rate. Sponsored items show the first recorded motion on that item as the outcome. Full detail is in how we count. Land-use and lobbying figures cover Hillsborough County records.
