Developer political money in the 2014 election cycle

Donors who listed Developer as their occupation account for $4,679,519 in itemized individual contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle. The slice covers 952 contributions from 490 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $33,583,908, so 2014 is 13.9% of that roll. Developer is a job label on a federal receipt, not a license file and not a connected PAC.

Developer meeting the 2014 election cycle

2014 is a midterm federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Developer occupation grouping with that year produces $4,679,519, 952 lines, and 490 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $33,583,908 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $9,550 per donor ($4,679,519 ÷ 490) and about $4,915 per contribution ($4,679,519 ÷ 952) describe this string in 2014. Lines per donor average about 1.9 (952 ÷ 490). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2014 election-cycle hub places Developer beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $4,679,519 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

13.9% of the Developer all-cycle grouping

13.9% is $4,679,519 divided by $33,583,908. The leftover $28,904,389 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 13.9% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Midterm solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 952 lines still describe only receipts tagged Developer in 2014. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 13.9% as proof that 2014 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Developer can mean real estate or software

DEVELOPER is an ambiguous occupation word. Real-estate developers and software developers can share the cell if they typed the same string. FEC.gov does not split them. REAL ESTATE, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, and a company legal name are neighboring keys.

A developer who typed the LLC or studio name is usually on an industry hub. A person who typed Developer is in this cell. This page does not recode NAICS. The Developer string is the filter, not a housing-starts series and not a GitHub census.

What Developer money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a builder PAC, not a tech PAC, and not independent expenditures about housing or software bills. HUD awards and federal IT contracts are USAspending objects.

This join does not claim that Developer-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet. Keep Developer and the cycle year named together so a software hub is not assumed.

Pages that keep Developer and 2014 apart

The Developer occupation page holds $33,583,908 and other years. The 2014 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Developer and 2014 — whenever $4,679,519 is quoted. Cite 952 contributions, 490 donors, 13.9% of $33,583,908, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 490 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Developer × 2014

A complete claim names Developer and 2014, then $4,679,519, 952 contributions, 490 donors, and 13.9% of $33,583,908, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 490-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2014: people who typed Developer increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $4,679,519 and the 13.9% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $33,583,908 and other cycles.

2014 remains a midterm federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Developer in 2014: $4,679,519 on 952 lines from 490 donors. About $4,915 per line and $9,550 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 952 without raising unique people above 490.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
