DEFENDARIZONA — 2018 cycle receipts

DEFENDARIZONA locked to cycle 2018

LobbyVault stores DEFENDARIZONA as committee C00668301 and stores 2018 as an election-cycle hub. The canonical path for this prose is the /ties/ URL for the pair. Overlay traffic still belongs on /committees/C00668301/ for the committee table. /election-cycles/2018/ remains the cycle table.

$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

isSuperPac = 1 is a packet flag, not a donor count. Type O is independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). Together they tell a reader how to label DEFENDARIZONA in 2018 without borrowing a label from another year.

C00668301 appears on the committee overlay /committees/C00668301/. That overlay is the committee dimension. This ties page adds the 2018 dimension and stops there. Cash on hand is stored as $81,126.69, a third field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are stored as $4,268,380.00. Committee designation is U (unauthorized committee (designation U)).

Why 2018 is a midterm FEC cycle tag

Presidential-year versus midterm is a calendar description of 2018, not a finding about DEFENDARIZONA’s purpose. 2018 is a midterm FEC cycle tag. The dollars remain $22,730,647.65 and $22,649,520.96.

Do not convert $22,730,647.65 into a per-day burn rate. This packet has no day count. Do not convert it into a share of all 2018 receipts; no cycle-wide denominator is in the facts.

What the 2018 ledger is not

A zero field, a matching pair, or a gap each has a reading: it is what the extract stored. It is not proof of a bank balance. Receipts $22,730,647.65 exceed disbursements $22,649,520.96 by $81,126.69. Cash on hand is stored as $81,126.69, a third field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are stored as $4,268,380.00. Committee designation is U (unauthorized committee (designation U)).

Refunds, transfers, and operating expenditures can all sit inside disbursements. This packet does not split $22,649,520.96 into those buckets.

No donors, no USAspending, no motives

Unitemized receipts below itemization thresholds, if any, may sit inside a cycle total without appearing as named Schedule A rows. This packet still does not name donors. It also does not split itemized from unitemized beyond any individual-contribution field it stores.

State-office committees file under state law and are outside $22,730,647.65. Municipal filings are outside $22,730,647.65. FEC.gov federal reports only.
