Rick Scott's $3.5M-$7.1M Municipal Bond Filing: What the August 2026 PTR Shows

Scott's August 3 Periodic Transaction Report contains 12 transaction rows: six owned by the senator and six owned by his spouse. Every row is classified as a municipal security in the Senate record.

The transactions occurred on July 8 and July 13. Adding the lower and upper bounds of all 12 reported amount bands produces an aggregate range of roughly $3.5 million to $7.1 million. That is a range derived from disclosure bands, not an exact transaction total.

Four July 8 purchases involve JEA Florida water-and-sewer system revenue bonds carrying a 5% coupon and maturing October 1, 2051. Two rows are self-owned and two are spouse-owned. Together, their reported bands total about $1.1 million to $2.25 million.

JEA's official investor materials identify its water-and-sewer revenue bonds as obligations tied to the Jacksonville utility system. The Florida connection is relevant because Scott represents the state, but geography alone does not establish a conflict, preferential access, or improper influence.

The filing does not identify an execution price, yield, CUSIP, series, or investment rationale, so it is not possible to determine the exact securities or the household's expected return from the public record alone.

Two July 13 purchases involve Atlanta airport revenue bonds carrying a 5% coupon and maturing July 1, 2054. The self-owned row is reported at $500,001-$1 million, while the spouse-owned row is $250,001-$500,000.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport maintains official investor materials for its airport revenue bonds. The PTR's abbreviated asset name does not identify the specific bond series, however, so the public record supports an issuer-level description rather than a more precise security match.

The same July 13 report lists six full or partial sales of municipal bonds issued for Chicago water reclamation, Ohio water development, New Jersey educational facilities, Portland airport, California public works, and a King County, Washington school district.

Those sale bands total about $1.65 million to $3.35 million. Because the filing pairs sizable sales with sizable purchases, the narrowest defensible reading is a rotation among municipal securities rather than a one-direction increase in total municipal-bond exposure.

That interpretation is still an inference. The report does not disclose account balances, proceeds, tax considerations, adviser instructions, or whether the purchases were funded directly by the listed sales.

The four JEA purchases occurred July 8, 26 days before the August 3 filing. The other eight transactions occurred July 13, creating a 21-day public-disclosure gap.

Both intervals are within 45 days of the reported transaction dates. Unlike House PTRs, Scott's electronic Senate report does not list a separate notification date, so researchers should distinguish transaction date from public filing date without inventing an intermediate date.

The August 3 date describes when the report became public, not when Scott's household traded the bonds.

Scott serves on the Senate Budget, Armed Services, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Foreign Relations committees and chairs the Special Committee on Aging. Those assignments provide public-service context, but the official committee list does not establish a direct connection between his committee work and any municipal issuer in this report.

The filing establishes the reported owner, asset description, security type, transaction type, transaction date, amount band, coupon, maturity, and filing date. It does not establish exact amounts, prices, gains or losses, investment intent, who selected the bonds, or use of nonpublic information.

The useful takeaway is narrower: the August 3 record documents a multi-million-dollar household municipal-bond rotation with meaningful Florida utility exposure and public disclosure 21 to 26 days after the transactions.
