Developer political contributions from Pennsylvania

Developer and Pennsylvania as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DEVELOPER and donor state PA produce $1,223,965, 1,241 contributions, and 112 donors. The occupation hub is $33,583,908, 36,924 contributions, and 3,717 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 3.4% (1,241 of 36,924); donor share about 3.0% (112 of 3,717). One hundred twelve Pennsylvania donors are about 3.0% of 3,717 national donors; 1,241 contributions are about 3.4% of 36,924 national rows; dollars are about 3.6% of $33,583,908.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and BUILDER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Developer total. Do not stack DEVELOPER with REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER or SOFTWARE DEVELOPER into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

112 Pennsylvania donors produced 1,241 contributions, about 11.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 9.9 rows per donor nationally (36,924 contributions from 3,717 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Pennsylvania cell is about $986, against about $910 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s about 3.6% share of $33,583,908 from 112 people is a mid-volume slice of a one-word occupation.

DEVELOPER as an ambiguous one-word title

DEVELOPER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not say whether the title meant real estate, software, or another trade. The single word on the form is the filter. The $33,583,908 national total is DEVELOPER only. 3,717 donors produced 36,924 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 36,924 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Pennsylvania (PA). Three thousand seven hundred seventeen national donors make this a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state PA.

Pennsylvania on the state side

112 Pennsylvania donors produced 1,241 contributions totaling $1,223,965. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania project or codebase, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,223,965.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only DEVELOPER. The Developer occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 96.4% of the $33,583,908. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to PA. DEVELOPER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not split real-estate from software, merge REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, or claim that Developer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DEVELOPER is not REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER even when filers meant a property project.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DEVELOPER is not a NAICS or GitHub extract. Donor state PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Developer filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania dollars on this page from the national DEVELOPER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded DEVELOPER in every other state combined. That remainder ($32,359,943) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 112 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 1,241 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,223,965 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the DEVELOPER national total, drops a key. One hundred twelve donors producing 1,241 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,223,965 headline.

Developer donations holds the $33,583,908 national occupation total. Pennsylvania campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Washington has a separate Developer occupation-state tie with different facts.
