Software Engineer political contributions from Massachusetts

SOFTWARE ENGINEER × Massachusetts

Filtering FEC individual receipts to occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER and contributor state Massachusetts produces $5,037,286. That is about 8% of $64,582,668 nationally. Massachusetts’s 29,890 contributions are about 8% of 353,424. Its 842 donors are about 8% of 10,853. The three percentages agree. The Massachusetts slice looks like a scaled piece of the national series, not a dollar spike from a handful of filers.

Average itemized gift in the Massachusetts join is about $169 ($5,037,286 / 29,890). That modest average plus high receipt counts matches the occupation’s national shape (353,424 gifts from 10,853 donors). Engineer, developer, and programmer are not included unless they used this exact string.

Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred ninety Massachusetts SOFTWARE ENGINEER gifts are about 8% of 353,424 nationally, matching the 8% dollar and donor shares. The alignment is the news: Massachusetts is a scaled piece of $64,582,668, not a concentrated exception. Washington’s larger join on the same string remains a separate address filter.

The national SOFTWARE ENGINEER series

Ten thousand eight hundred fifty-three donors used SOFTWARE ENGINEER on itemized receipts totaling $64,582,668 across 353,424 gifts. Repeat itemization is the rule. Title spelling fragments the tech workforce across multiple occupation pages; this join inherits only SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

Most occupation dollars sit outside Massachusetts ($64,582,668 minus $5,037,286). Washington’s join on the same national denominator is a separate state filter. Neither page is a census of regional tech employment.

Eight hundred forty-two Massachusetts donors

Eight hundred forty-two Massachusetts donors produced 29,890 SOFTWARE ENGINEER-tagged contributions totaling $5,037,286. Receipts per donor are high. The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub places this title beside teacher, writer, and other MA occupations so a technical string is sized against the rest of the state’s itemized giving.

Remote work complicates donor state. The FEC field is the address on the contribution, which may be home or mailing address, not the employer’s office. A Massachusetts-addressed SOFTWARE ENGINEER may work for an out-of-state firm; an on-site employee living in New Hampshire will not appear in the $5,037,286.

The Massachusetts hub also carries TEACHER, WRITER, and GENERAL COUNSEL joins. Those titles have different volumes and different concentration signatures. SOFTWARE ENGINEER here is the high-volume, modest-average tech string. Keep $5,037,286 attached to 842 donors and 29,890 gifts so it is not mistaken for a few large Boston-area checks.

What the join does not claim

The table does not identify employers as startups, hospitals, or universities. It does not say software engineers funded Massachusetts candidates or that the industry caused the gifts. $5,037,286 is labeled itemized giving under two fields.

A second regional cut of the same tech title

Massachusetts SOFTWARE ENGINEER at $5,037,286 from 842 donors and 29,890 gifts is about 8% of $64,582,668 nationally on all three measures (dollars, gifts, people). Washington’s join is $7,632,268 from 1,275 donors on the same denominator. Two tech-employment states, two proportional cuts, most of 10,853 donors still elsewhere.

Average gift about $169 in Massachusetts versus about $213 in Washington is a small difference in filter shape, not a ranking of engineering cultures. Developer and engineer remain excluded from both cells. Remote-work addresses still decide who is in the 842 MA keys.

Eight hundred forty-two Massachusetts donors, 29,890 gifts, $5,037,286, about 8% of $64,582,668 on dollars, gifts, and people. Washington’s join is the larger sibling on the same occupation. Developer and engineer remain excluded. Remote-work addresses remain the geography. Cite the 8% as a proportional cut, not as a Boston-tech political score.
