Developer political contributions from Michigan

The Developer × Michigan join

LobbyVault stores FEC occupation strings separately from donor states. Crossing them for Developer and Michigan yields $553,109. That is 1,027 itemized lines and 117 unique donors. The figure is not a committee’s reported disbursement. FEC.gov remains the underlying source.

Occupation strings can collide with similar form text. This join uses the exact grouping DEVELOPER. Related titles, abbreviations, and employer names are not added. The 117 donor identities are contributor keys, not a headcount of a workforce. Software developer, real estate developer, web developer, and property developer sit elsewhere.

Dropping either filter changes the story. Drop the state and you see $33,583,908. Drop the string and you see the entire Michigan hub. This page holds both filters at once. Michigan DEVELOPER is not the Arizona Developer join. The one-word string does not import Real Estate Developer dollars from Ohio.

The occupation string DEVELOPER

A national figure of $33,583,908 can swallow a single state if the join is skipped. Michigan is $553,109, 1.6%. The leftover $33,030,799 belongs on other state pages for the same string, not in this cell.

$33,583,908 is still only this exact grouping. It is not every related title and not a sector total. 1.6% describes Michigan inside Developer, nothing else. This join does not recode DEVELOPER into a Michigan builder-license file, a tech-payroll census, or a NAICS sector total.

Volume: 1,027 lines, 117 identities

Packet arithmetic: $553,109 ÷ 1,027 ≈ $539 per contribution; $553,109 ÷ 117 ≈ $4,727 per donor; 1,027 ÷ 117 ≈ 8.8 contributions per donor. None of those figures is a median, a mode, or a party breakdown.

The Commission’s itemized-individual universe excludes unitemized gifts. Adding those would change the means. This join does not add them. Software developer, real estate developer, web developer, and property developer are other keys and would change the means if merged.

The donor-state MI field

Remove Developer and the Michigan hub still contains every other grouping. This file does not add those dollars. Keep both keys if the question is DEVELOPER in MI: $553,109, 1,027 contributions, 117 donors.

Donor state MI is an address on the itemized line. It is not proof of a Michigan professional license and not a claim that the money stayed in Michigan races. Housing versus commercial versus software developer titles as typed is unpublished.

Where to go next from Developer in Michigan

Start with $553,109, then Developer donations for the national occupation total, then Michigan campaign finance if the occupation filter needs to come off. All occupations lists software developer, real estate developer, web developer, and property developer as separate titles. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Do not invent donor names on this page. The individual-contribution cell remains $553,109 on 1,027 receipts from 117 donors. Michigan DEVELOPER is not the Arizona Developer join. The one-word string does not import Real Estate Developer dollars from Ohio.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Open /occupations/developer/ (Developer donations) for the occupation hub, /states/MI/ (Michigan campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.
