Software Developer itemized gifts from Maryland

Reading $322,141 as Software Developer in Maryland

Where donor state MD meets occupation SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, itemized individual contributions sum to $322,141 across 1,356 lines and 57 donor keys. The occupation aggregate without a state screen is $16,793,605 from 92,777 contributions and 2,757 donors. Maryland is 1.9% of that occupation book; $16,471,464 was filed under other states. The arithmetic uses only packet facts. Maryland’s Software Developer cell shares the same state filter as the Law Professor page but a different occupation string; do not stack the two Maryland cells.

This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the occupation side, the state side, the gift math, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Software Developer donations across states, and it is not a restatement of Maryland campaign finance across occupations.

Sibling titles next to Software Developer

Software Engineer, Programmer, Developer, and Software Engineer/Developer are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of SOFTWARE DEVELOPER and they are not folded into $322,141. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 1.9%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER is the two-word title. Programmer and Software Engineer are other keys. Employer and language stack are unpublished. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: SOFTWARE DEVELOPER in Maryland for $322,141.

Reading 1,356 contributions as a line count

Line count 1,356 and donor count 57 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried SOFTWARE DEVELOPER and state MD? 1,356. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 57. How many dollars? $322,141. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share

$322,141 ÷ $16,793,605 = 1.9%. $16,471,464 ÷ $16,793,605 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 57 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 57 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 1.9% dollar share means other states still hold $16,471,464 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Software Developer was quiet or loud in Maryland politics. Other states are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.

What this join does not prove

This page does not rank Maryland as more or less Software Developer-driven than other states, does not call the cell a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.

Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See Maryland campaign finance, Software Developer donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $322,141 is that subset for Maryland. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Maryland receipts.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER is the two-word title. Programmer and Software Engineer are other keys. Employer and language stack are unpublished. Keep Software Developer and Maryland in the same sentence as $322,141. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Software Developer, donor state Maryland (MD), $322,141 itemized, 1,356 contributions, 57 donors, 1.9% of $16,793,605 from 2,757 national donors. SOFTWARE DEVELOPER is the two-word title. Programmer and Software Engineer are other keys. Employer and language stack are unpublished. Software Engineer, Programmer, Developer, and Software Engineer/Developer stay on other occupation pages. The Maryland campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

How much have Software Developer donors in Maryland given?

The join records $322,141 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Software Developer and donor state Maryland, from 1,356 contributions and 57 donors. The occupation’s national total is $16,793,605, so Maryland is 1.9% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every software developer who donated from Maryland?

No. The 57 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to SOFTWARE DEVELOPER and state MD. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $322,141 on 1,356 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Software Developer occupation money is from Maryland?

1.9%: $322,141 of $16,793,605. The remaining $16,471,464 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $322,141 divided by $16,793,605, not a ranking of civic engagement. Other states’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder. Donor share is 2.1%.

Does this money go to Maryland candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Maryland (MD). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $322,141 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Maryland campaign finance for every occupation coded to MD. Source: FEC.gov.
