Developer political contributions from Washington

Developer and Washington as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DEVELOPER and donor state WA produce $1,197,811, 1,548 contributions, and 94 donors. The occupation hub is $33,583,908, 36,924 contributions, and 3,717 donors. Washington’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 4.2% (1,548 of 36,924); donor share about 2.5% (94 of 3,717). Ninety-four Washington donors are about 2.5% of 3,717 national donors; 1,548 contributions are about 4.2% 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 SOFTWARE DEVELOPER or BUILDER into a single Washington professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

94 Washington donors produced 1,548 contributions, about 16.5 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 Washington cell is about $774, against about $910 nationwide. Washington’s about 3.6% dollar share from 94 people matches Pennsylvania’s dollar share on a different donor and row mix; do not stack the cells.

DEVELOPER without a Pennsylvania overlay

DEVELOPER is a filer-entered string. The national occupation hub is the same $33,583,908 book. This page filters donor state WA. The FEC file still does not split real estate from software. 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 Washington (WA). Thirty-six thousand nine hundred twenty-four national contributions make this a mid-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state WA.

Washington on the state side

94 Washington donors produced 1,548 contributions totaling $1,197,811. Donor state WA is the address on the record, not proof of a Washington license, and not a limit to Washington candidates. WA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Puget Sound project or codebase, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,197,811.

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

What the join is not

This page does not add the Pennsylvania cell into this total, 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. The Pennsylvania Developer join is a different pair with different state totals. Do not stack the two cells.

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 WA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Washington Developer filter

Subtract the Washington 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 ($32,386,097) 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 94 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 1,548 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,197,811 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Washington dollars, or only the DEVELOPER national total, drops a key. Ninety-four donors producing 1,548 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,197,811 headline.

Related tables

Developer donations holds the $33,583,908 national occupation total. Washington 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. Pennsylvania has a separate Developer occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
