After being elected to office as Hendry county property appraiser in 1992, her income jumped to $56,010 and her assets nearly doubled to $238,580 when she filed financial disclosure forms with the election office in 1995, her assets at the time comprising mainly her 14 acres and home in south Hendry county.
