Software Engineer political contributions from Colorado

Software Engineer and Colorado as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER and donor state CO produce $1,541,934, 11,857 contributions, and 347 donors. The occupation hub is $64,582,668, 353,424 contributions, and 10,853 donors. Colorado’s dollar share is about 2.4%; contribution share about 3.4% (11,857 of 353,424); donor share about 3.2% (347 of 10,853). Three hundred forty-seven Colorado donors are about 3.2% of 10,853 national donors; 11,857 contributions are about 3.4% of 353,424 national rows; dollars are about 2.4% of $64,582,668.

ENGINEER, PROGRAMMER, and DEVELOPER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Software Engineer total. Do not stack SOFTWARE ENGINEER with ENGINEER or PROGRAMMER into a single Colorado professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

347 Colorado donors produced 11,857 contributions, about 34.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 32.6 rows per donor nationally (353,424 contributions from 10,853 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Colorado cell is about $130, against about $183 nationwide. Colorado’s about 2.4% dollar share from 11,857 rows is a high-repeat professional slice of a 353,424-row occupation, not a Boulder campus census.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER as a technical-title string

SOFTWARE ENGINEER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an employer, a stack, or a remote-work arrangement. Two words on the form are the filter. The $64,582,668 national total is SOFTWARE ENGINEER only. 10,853 donors produced 353,424 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 353,424 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Colorado (CO). Three hundred fifty-three thousand four hundred twenty-four national contributions make SOFTWARE ENGINEER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CO.

Colorado as the donor-state stamp

347 Colorado donors produced 11,857 contributions totaling $1,541,934. 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 proof of a Colorado employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,541,934.

The Colorado campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CO. This join is only SOFTWARE ENGINEER. The Software Engineer occupation hub without Colorado still holds about 97.6% of the $64,582,668. Colorado’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CO. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is only this filter.

What the Software Engineer–Colorado join is not

This page does not count tech jobs, merge programmer dollars, or claim that Software Engineer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is not PROGRAMMER even when filers meant a coding job. This cell is not the Illinois Software Engineer pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is not a tech-payroll census. Donor state CO is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Colorado Software Engineer filter

Subtract the Colorado dollars on this page from the national SOFTWARE ENGINEER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SOFTWARE ENGINEER in every other state combined. That remainder ($63,040,734) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 347 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 11,857 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,541,934 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Colorado dollars, or only the SOFTWARE ENGINEER national total, drops a key. Three hundred forty-seven donors producing 11,857 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,541,934 headline.

Related tables

Software Engineer donations holds the $64,582,668 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. Illinois has a separate Software Engineer occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
