How much did Developer-labeled donors give in 2012?

The Developer grouping’s 2012 cell is $1,908,999 in itemized individual contributions, from 1,089 contributions and 319 donors, based on FEC.gov aggregates. That join is not a PAC total and not the $33,132,163 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Developer mean software developers or real-estate developers?

The bucket does not say. It is the self-reported occupation/employer string Developer. Software, real estate, and other uses can land in the same cell. A longer string such as Real Estate Developer is a separate grouping if stored separately.

What share of Developer FEC money fell in 2012?

About 5.8%. The 2012 cell is $1,908,999 against a lifetime grouping total of $33,132,163. Other cycles hold the remaining dollars on the occupation hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this the same as federal spending on development projects?

No. These numbers are FEC individual contribution aggregates. USAspending records federal awards. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

$1,908,999 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Developer. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,089 contributions from 319 donors. Across every cycle the same string totals $33,132,163, so 2012 holds about 5.8% of the lifetime bucket. The word on the form is short; the join is still a two-key filter, not a census of an industry.

Key figures

$1,908,999 joins the Developer occupation grouping to the 2012 FEC cycle.
1,089 contributions from 319 donors spread the cell.
2012 is about 5.8% of the grouping’s $33,132,163 lifetime total.
Developer is a generic self-reported string, not a single profession or a spending award.

Developer as a string, 2012 as a window

Filers write Developer for software work, real-estate work, and other jobs. The aggregate does not split those meanings. This page still has a numeric job: report the dollars where that grouped string meets the 2012 federal cycle. The meeting point is $1,908,999.

1,089 contributions from 319 donors spread the cell. Average gift size is about $1,753; average per donor is about $5,984. Those ratios look like many ordinary itemized receipts rather than a few dominant checks, though the average still hides a mix of sizes.

The industry hub stacks all cycles. The cycle hub stacks all employers. This tie is only the overlap.

Five-point-eight percent of a $33 million occupation bucket

$33,132,163 is the all-cycle Developer total in this table. $1,908,999 in 2012 is about 5.8% of that stack. Other two-year windows hold the rest. A presidential year can raise the cell without making 2012 the occupation’s main FEC chapter.

A parallel grouping, Real Estate Developer, is a different bucket if the pipeline stored it separately. Receipts tagged with the longer phrase do not automatically appear here.
