Software Developer money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Software Developer as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation SOFTWARE DEVELOPER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $293,839 ($0.29 million), 376 contributions, and 140 donors. 1.7% of Software Developer occupation dollars ($16,793,605) fall in 2014.

2014 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2014 on FEC.gov, a midterm FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2014 dollars. A 1.7% share of a large occupation total means most SOFTWARE DEVELOPER dollars sit in other even-year windows on the occupation hub. Software engineer, programmer, and developer remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into SOFTWARE DEVELOPER.

A two-word tech title, not Programmer or Engineer

On the occupation side, $16,793,605 is the Software Developer total across cycles. Sibling labels (SOFTWARE ENGINEER, PROGRAMMER, and DEVELOPER) stay on other pages. Software Developer is not a BLS developer census, a GitHub-user count, or a tech PAC.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $16,793,605. The Software Developer donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $293,839 is a slice of. Dividing $293,839 by 376 receipts yields about $781 per line; dividing by 140 donors yields about $2,099 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

140 donors inside the 2014 midterm window

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Software Developer. $293,839 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.

376 itemized lines from 140 unique donors is about 2.7 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $781; mean per donor about $2,099. About 2.7 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 $293,839. Under one hundred forty donor keys and a few hundred lines is a concentrated tech-title cell; the occupation’s all-cycle total is much larger than this midterm slice.

What Software Developer dollars in 2014 are not

Matching Software Developer with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Software Developer donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a BLS developer 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 1.7% share of a large occupation total means most SOFTWARE DEVELOPER dollars sit in other even-year windows on the occupation hub. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $293,839 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Software Developer × 2014

A complete claim names Software Developer and 2014, then $293,839, 376 contributions, 140 donors, and 1.7% of $16,793,605, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 140 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Software Developer and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $781 and mean per donor $2,099 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and Programmer as a sibling

Software Developer donations holds the $16,793,605 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Software Developer. All occupations places SOFTWARE DEVELOPER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (SOFTWARE ENGINEER, PROGRAMMER, and DEVELOPER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $293,839 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $16,499,766 (98.3%) outside 2014. Most of the $16,793,605 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Software engineer, programmer, and developer remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.7. That ratio is 376 divided by 140, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Software Developer and 2014. Quote the dollars: $293,839. Quote the volume: 376 contributions, 140 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.

Questions

How much did Software Developer-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Software Developer grouping’s 2014 cell is $293,839 in itemized individual contributions, from 376 contributions and 140 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $16,793,605 all-cycle occupation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does Software Developer include software engineers?

Only if they typed SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is a separate occupation page. The 2014 cycle filter on Software Developer is $293,839, 376 contributions, and 140 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $16,793,605. Cite the 2014 intersection as $293,839 and 376 contributions from 140 donors, not the $16,793,605 occupation total.

What share of Software Developer FEC money fell in 2014?

About 1.7%. $293,839 divided by $16,793,605 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 98.3% ($16,499,766) on the occupation hub. See the Software Developer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Software Developer 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. $293,839 is itemized receipts tagged SOFTWARE DEVELOPER in 2014, not an obligation total. Cite the 2014 intersection as $293,839 and 376 contributions from 140 donors, not the $16,793,605 occupation total.
