Programmer occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

$273,814 survives both filters: occupation Programmer and cycle 2010. FEC.gov counted 525 itemized lines and 227 unique donors. About 2.2% of the $12,670,737 occupation stack sits in this midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

Key figures

  • $273,814 joins the Programmer occupation string to the 2010 FEC cycle.
  • 525 contributions from 227 donors produced that cell.
  • 2010 is about 2.2% of the occupation’s $12,670,737 lifetime total.
  • PROGRAMMER is a filer-entered title, not a BLS programmer census.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Programmer as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Programmer in 2010 is $273,814 on 525 itemized lines from 227 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2.2% of $12,670,737 is $273,814. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

525 itemized lines from 227 unique donors is about 2.3 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $522; mean per donor about $1,206. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 227 people still used that title after 2010. Software engineer, developer, and software developer remain other keys. This cell keeps PROGRAMMER and does not recode those strings.

This page is not a restatement of the Programmer hub or of the 2010 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $273,814.

A one-word tech title, not Software Engineer

Filers who typed PROGRAMMER produced the all-cycle occupation total of $12,670,737 ($12.67 million). A later Programmer cycle page uses the same occupation denominator. Do not add those years into this 2010 cell. The occupation is not a BLS programmer census, a GitHub-user count, or a tech PAC.

227 donors inside the 2010 midterm window

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Programmer. $273,814 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

525 itemized lines from 227 unique donors is about 2.3 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $522; mean per donor about $1,206. About 2.3 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $273,814. Hundreds of donor keys and more than five hundred lines is a mid-scale tech-title cell in a midterm window. Three numbers define the Programmer × 2010 cell: dollars $273,814, contribution rows 525, unique donors 227. Share of occupation dollars is 2.2% of $12,670,737.

What Programmer dollars in 2010 are not

Matching Programmer with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Programmer donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a BLS programmer census, a GitHub-user count, or a tech PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. A later Programmer cycle page uses the same occupation denominator. Do not add those years into this 2010 cell. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $273,814 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Programmer × 2010

A complete claim names Programmer and 2010, then $273,814, 525 contributions, 227 donors, and 2.2% of $12,670,737, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 227 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Programmer and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $522 and mean per donor $1,206 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Software Developer as a sibling

Programmer donations holds the $12,670,737 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Programmer. All occupations places PROGRAMMER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $273,814 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $12,396,923 (97.8%) outside 2010. Most of the $12,670,737 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Software engineer, developer, and software developer remain other keys. This cell keeps PROGRAMMER and does not recode those strings. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.3. That ratio is 525 divided by 227, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Programmer and 2010. Quote the dollars: $273,814. Quote the volume: 525 contributions, 227 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.

Questions

How much did Programmer-labeled donors give in 2010?
The Programmer grouping’s 2010 cell is $273,814 in itemized individual contributions, from 525 contributions and 227 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $12,670,737 all-cycle occupation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
Does Programmer include software engineers?
Only if they typed PROGRAMMER. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is a separate occupation page. The 2010 cycle filter on Programmer is $273,814, 525 contributions, and 227 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $12,670,737. Cite the 2010 intersection as $273,814 and 525 contributions from 227 donors, not the $12,670,737 occupation total.
What share of Programmer FEC money fell in 2010?
About 2.2%. $273,814 divided by $12,670,737 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 97.8% ($12,396,923) on the occupation hub. See the Programmer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.
Does Programmer 2010 money fund federal awards?
No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $273,814 is itemized receipts tagged PROGRAMMER in 2010, not an obligation total. Cite the 2010 intersection as $273,814 and 525 contributions from 227 donors, not the $12,670,737 occupation total.
