Software Engineer political contributions from Illinois

Software Engineer and Illinois as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER and donor state IL produce $1,485,548, 11,440 contributions, and 313 donors. The occupation hub is $64,582,668, 353,424 contributions, and 10,853 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 2.3%; contribution share about 3.2% (11,440 of 353,424); donor share about 2.9% (313 of 10,853). Three hundred thirteen Illinois donors are about 2.9% of 10,853 national donors; 11,440 contributions are about 3.2% of 353,424 national rows; dollars are about 2.3% of $64,582,668.

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

313 Illinois donors produced 11,440 contributions, about 36.5 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 Illinois cell is about $130, against about $183 nationwide. Illinois’s about 2.3% dollar share from 11,440 rows sits next to Colorado’s 11,857-row cell of the same occupation; they are still different state joins.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER as an Illinois technical 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 Illinois (IL). Ten thousand eight hundred fifty-three national donors make SOFTWARE ENGINEER a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IL.

Illinois as the reported address

313 Illinois donors produced 11,440 contributions totaling $1,485,548. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. IL is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Illinois employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,485,548.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only SOFTWARE ENGINEER. The Software Engineer occupation hub without Illinois still holds about 97.7% of the $64,582,668. Illinois’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IL. SOFTWARE ENGINEER is only this filter.

What the Software Engineer–Illinois join is not

This page does not count tech jobs, add Colorado Software Engineer 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 ENGINEER even when filers meant a coding job. This cell is not the Colorado 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 IL is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Illinois Software Engineer filter

Subtract the Illinois 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 ($63,097,120) 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 313 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 11,440 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,485,548 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the SOFTWARE ENGINEER national total, drops a key. Three hundred thirteen donors producing 11,440 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,485,548 headline.

Related tables

Software Engineer donations holds the $64,582,668 national occupation total. Illinois 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. Colorado has a separate Software Engineer occupation-state tie in this same slice; those 11,857 contributions are a different pair.
