DEFENDARIZONA locked to cycle 2018

$22,730,647.65 is the headline receipt number. $22,649,520.96 is the headline disbursement number. Type O and isSuperPac = 1 are classification flags, not dollar fields. 2018 type O Super PAC; concatenated DEFENDARIZONA spelling; individual gifts $4,268,380.00.

A searcher asking for DefendArizona in 2018 needs both nouns in the citation. Dropping the cycle turns the figure into an all-years claim this packet does not support. Dropping the committee turns it into a cycle-wide claim this packet does not support. Individual contributions $4,268,380.00 are well below $22,730,647.65 in receipts. Do not invent Arizona donor names to explain the gap.

DEFENDARIZONA is not a donor table
