DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC — $5.4 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

A $211,000 individual line on a $5.38 million committee

DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC's individual contributions of $211,000 are about 3.9% of $5,377,483.90. The other $5,166,483.90 of inflows sits in FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. That mix is the filing fact that sets this Super PAC apart from committees whose individual line nearly equals receipts.

Values in the committee name is a title word. It is not a scorecard. Defending is a title word. It is not a legal filing type. Committee ID C00928390 is the match key in the PAC directory.

LobbyVault pulls these totals from FEC committee aggregates, not from Arizona state campaign-finance agencies. Form 3X is the report family federal Super PACs use.

Disbursements of $4.55 million, about 84.6% of receipts

Total disbursements are $4,548,840.77. That is about 84.6% of receipts. DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC has reported spending a large majority of reported inflows in these aggregates. The packet does not label the remainder as cash on hand.

Disbursements on a Super PAC can include independent expenditures plus operating costs. This summary does not split them. If you need the independent-expenditure schedule, go to the FEC reports for C00928390.

Phoenix address and treasurer of record

DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC is registered with a Phoenix, Arizona, city and state of record. The treasurer is M'Liss Hadley. Arizona as the address of record is not a statement that the committee's spending is limited to Arizona races. Super PAC independent expenditures can be reported in any federal contest the committee files on.

Citing M'Liss Hadley identifies the filing, not a biography. The apostrophe is part of the FEC treasurer string. Independent-expenditure-only status is the Super PAC flag.

What this Super PAC page is not

This guide is not an endorsement, not a donor ranking, and not a prediction. It restates three FEC aggregates — $5,377,483.90 received, $4,548,840.77 disbursed, $211,000 in individual contributions — plus the Super PAC flag, city, and treasurer. These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

How to read the overlay

Open the DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees with a tiny individual share and high spend-through. Use the PAC directory when values titles collide. Keep Form 3X off of candidate ledgers.

Other receipts dominate the $5.38 million pile

Cite the packet facts in this order: $5,377,483.90 received, $4,548,840.77 disbursed, $211,000 individual, treasurer M'Liss Hadley, Phoenix, Arizona, committee C00928390. About 3.9% individual and about 84.6% spend-through are the two ratios that distinguish this filing.

Do not fold $5,377,483.90 into a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC Form 3X. Use the DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee.

Form 3X is the report family behind DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC's $5,377,483.90 receipt total and $4,548,840.77 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 84.6% spend-through on committee C00928390. Individual contributions of $211,000 are about 3.9% of receipts, leaving $5,166,483.90 in unnamed FEC categories. Treasurer M'Liss Hadley and the Phoenix, Arizona, address of record identify the Super PAC on FEC.gov. Independent-expenditure-only status means these figures are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

Defending and values are title words, not a scorecard. The C-number is the match key. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees with a tiny individual share and high spend-through, and the PAC directory when values titles overlap. Stay inside those three links. Do not fold $5,377,483.90 into a candidate ledger.

A 3.9% individual share on $5,377,483.90 is the category fact. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside $4,548,840.77. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not endorse DEFENDING OUR VALUES PAC.

Phoenix, Arizona, as the city of record on C00928390 is an organization field. It does not confine the $5,377,483.90 in receipts or the $4,548,840.77 in disbursements to Arizona races. M'Liss Hadley as treasurer identifies the filing. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. The $211,000 individual line remains the category fact that sets this Super PAC apart from 99% individual committees. Values in the title is not a scorecard.
