Programmer political contributions from Colorado

Programmer occupation overlapping Colorado addresses

Occupation PROGRAMMER and donor state CO produce $332,375, 1,926 contributions, and 58 donors. The occupation hub is $12,670,737, 72,729 contributions, and 2,058 donors. Colorado’s dollar share is about 2.6%; contribution share about 2.6% (1,926 of 72,729); donor share about 2.8% (58 of 2,058). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Programmer hub and not a restatement of all Colorado occupations.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack PROGRAMMER with those strings into a single Colorado professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

The arithmetic mean gift in this Colorado cell is about $173 ($332,375 divided by 1,926 lines), against about $174 nationwide ($12,670,737 divided by 72,729). 58 Colorado donors produced 1,926 contributions, about 33.2 itemized rows per donor, versus about 35.3 nationally. A mean is not a median and not a typical check. Skew from a few large itemized gifts can move $173 without changing the unique-donor count of 58.

PROGRAMMER is not SOFTWARE ENGINEER

PROGRAMMER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $12,670,737 national total is PROGRAMMER only. 2,058 donors produced 72,729 contributions in that occupation bucket. PROGRAMMER is a software self-description that is not engineer, not a GitHub census or tech-payroll extract. Nearby labels SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 72,729 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Colorado (CO). 72,729 national contributions make PROGRAMMER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Colorado overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Colorado donor state on programmer-coded lines

58 Colorado donors produced 1,926 contributions totaling $332,375. Donor state CO is the address on the record, not proof of a Colorado license, and not a limit to Colorado candidates. CO is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $332,375. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from CO-coded donors.

The Colorado campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CO. This join is only PROGRAMMER. The Programmer occupation hub without Colorado still holds about 97.4% of the $12,670,737 (remainder $12,338,362). Colorado’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CO. PROGRAMMER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Language, employer, and visa status are not in the file

A 2.6% dollar share in Colorado does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 58 unique donors as a GitHub census or tech-payroll extract. PROGRAMMER is not interchangeable with SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER.

Quote $332,375, 1,926 contributions, and 58 donors for Programmer in Colorado, against $12,670,737 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Programmer and Colorado—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Colorado Programmer dollars, gifts, and donors

A complete claim names Programmer and Colorado (CO), then $332,375, 1,926 contributions, 58 donors, and 2.6% of $12,670,737, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Colorado: $12,338,362. Mean gift $173 is $332,375 divided by 1,926 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Colorado dollars on this page from the national PROGRAMMER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PROGRAMMER in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,338,362) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 58 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Software occupation hubs and Colorado finance

Programmer donations holds the $12,670,737 national occupation total. Colorado 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.

Questions

How much have Programmer donors in Colorado given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation PROGRAMMER and state Colorado total $332,375, from 1,926 contributions and 58 donors. Nationwide, PROGRAMMER-coded receipts are $12,670,737 from 72,729 contributions and 2,058 donors. Colorado is about 2.6% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Should Software Engineer dollars be added to Programmer?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string PROGRAMMER and state is CO. 58 donors are not a GitHub census or tech-payroll extract. SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Programmer. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Programmer FEC money is from Colorado?

Is this a Colorado tech-workforce count?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Colorado. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $332,375 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Colorado campaign finance for every occupation coded to CO; open Programmer donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
