The American Crossroads hub is not this 2020 cell

The committee page linked from this file is C00487363. That hub is not limited to 2020. Quote $81,809,711.01 only with 2020 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. American Crossroads in 2020 is the join.

Cycle 2020 without other committees

A 2020 searcher who wants every committee should leave this URL for the cycle hub. A searcher who wants American Crossroads in every cycle should leave for the committee hub. Staying here keeps both filters: C00487363 and 2020, receipts $81,809,711.01, disbursements $83,373,696.48.
