Programmer occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Programmer as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation PROGRAMMER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $383,889 ($383,889), 468 contributions, and 188 donors. 3.0% of Programmer occupation dollars ($12,670,737) fall in 2014. 2014 is a modest slice of a large PROGRAMMER bucket: 468 receipts from 188 donors against an occupation total above twelve million.

Programmer is a one-word software title as typed, not an engineer recode. Nearby strings — SOFTWARE ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and COMPUTER PROGRAMMER — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $383,889 or $12,670,737. Software Engineer and Developer remain other keys even when the work is code. The FEC file does not verify a language, a stack, or an employer.

The PROGRAMMER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $12,670,737 ($12.7 million) is the Programmer total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 3.0% of that roll; the remaining $12,286,848 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Programmer is not a GitHub star ranking and not a named-company engineering roster. Programmer is not a GitHub census, a BLS computer-occupation extract, or a tech-firm headcount.

Open Programmer donations for the $12,670,737 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 468 itemized contributions map to 188 donors. That is about 2.5 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $820; dollars per donor average about $2,042. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Programmer row. 188 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $383,889.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $383,889 attached to 2014 and $12,670,737 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($12,286,848) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $383,889 with both nouns: Programmer and 2014.

What a Programmer cycle join cannot claim

Matching Programmer with 2014 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 GitHub census, a BLS computer-occupation extract, or a tech-firm headcount.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $383,889. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked programmer hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Programmer donations holds the $12,670,737 occupation total. The 2014 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, DEVELOPER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and COMPUTER PROGRAMMER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $383,889 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Programmer dollars ($12,670,737). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $383,889, 468 contributions, 188 donors, 3.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $383,889; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $12,670,737. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Programmer-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Programmer grouping’s 2014 cell is $383,889 in itemized individual contributions, from 468 contributions and 188 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.

Is Programmer the same as Software Engineer?

No. PROGRAMMER is a one-word stamp. Software Engineer, Developer, and Computer Programmer are other occupation keys. Mixing them would invent a combined software total that is not a packet fact. The FEC file does not confirm a stack or an employer.

What share of Programmer FEC money fell in 2014?

About 3.0%. $383,889 divided by $12,670,737 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $12,286,848 on the occupation hub. See the Programmer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Programmer 2014 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. $383,889 is itemized receipts tagged PROGRAMMER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
