Nationwide, Software Engineer-coded receipts total $64,582,668 across 353,424 contributions and 10,853 donors. New Jersey holds 1.5% of Software Engineer dollars ($943,999 of $64,582,668), 1.8% of contributions (6,203 of 353,424), and 1.9% of donors (209 of 10,853). This page is the FEC.gov occupation-and-state intersection, not a New Jersey PE license extract, not a tech-employer headcount, and not a GitHub census.

Software Engineer and New Jersey on the same national title

Occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER and donor state NJ produce $943,999, 6,203 contributions, and 209 donors. The occupation hub is $64,582,668, 353,424 contributions, and 10,853 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (1.5%, 1.8%, 1.9%). New Jersey tracks the national Software Engineer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. New Jersey Software Engineer dollars sit on the same high-row national engineering title as Oregon, with a smaller row share.

Software Engineer is a compound engineering title as typed, New Jersey filter. Nearby strings — ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, PROGRAMMER, and DEVELOPER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $943,999 or $64,582,668. Do not add Oregon Software Engineer dollars to this New Jersey cell; those are a different state filter on the same occupation string.

Two hundred Nine New Jersey donors produced 6,203 contributions, about 29.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 32.6 rows per donor nationally (353,424 contributions from 10,853 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this New Jersey cell are about $4,517, versus about $5,951 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER as the same stamp, New Jersey filter

SOFTWARE ENGINEER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an engineering degree, a PE license, or a New Jersey workplace. The national grouping is 10,853 donors, 353,424 contributions, and $64,582,668.

353,424 contributions from 10,853 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New Jersey’s 6,203 contributions from 209 donors is the NJ-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New Jersey.

Two hundred nine New Jersey donors on the contribution record

Two hundred Nine New Jersey donors produced 6,203 contributions totaling $943,999. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey professional license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only SOFTWARE ENGINEER. Subtract $943,999 from $64,582,668 and $63,638,669 remains coded Software Engineer in every other state combined (347,221 contributions, 10,644 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Do not stack Oregon Software Engineer onto this page

This page does not measure software engineer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Software Engineer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a New Jersey PE license extract, not a tech-employer headcount, and not a GitHub census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography.

Engineering strings that remain unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $943,999, 6,203 contributions, and 209 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the Software Engineer national total, drops a key.

Software Engineer donations holds the $64,582,668 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. ENGINEER, SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, PROGRAMMER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Do not add Oregon Software Engineer dollars to this New Jersey cell; those are a different state filter on the same occupation string.
