Software Engineer political contributions from Pennsylvania

Software Engineer and Pennsylvania as a coding-title occupation-state join

Occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER and donor state PA produce $1,848,343, 8,593 contributions, and 234 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 (2.9%, 2.4%, 2.2%). Pennsylvania tracks the national Software Engineer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Pennsylvania Software Engineer is a low-twos slice of a contribution-heavy engineering title.

Software Engineer is a two-word engineering title as typed, not a developer recode. Nearby strings — SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, PROGRAMMER, ENGINEER, and DEVELOPER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,848,343 or $64,582,668. SOFTWARE ENGINEER as a national label is row-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized lines.

234 Pennsylvania donors produced 8,593 contributions, about 36.7 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 Pennsylvania cell are about $7,899, 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 without a developer recode

SOFTWARE ENGINEER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify employment at a named software company or a professional-engineer license. 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. Pennsylvania’s 8,593 contributions from 234 donors is the PA-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 Pennsylvania.

Two hundred thirty-four Pennsylvania Software Engineer donors

234 Pennsylvania donors produced 8,593 contributions totaling $1,848,343. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania professional license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only SOFTWARE ENGINEER. Subtract $1,848,343 from $64,582,668 and $62,734,325 remains coded Software Engineer in every other state combined (344,831 contributions, 10,619 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

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 PE license extract, not a GitHub census, and not a named-employer engineering headcount.

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 PA is not recipient geography.

Engineering titles that stay 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 $1,848,343, 8,593 contributions, and 234 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the Software Engineer national total, drops a key.

Software Engineer donations holds the $64,582,668 national occupation total. Pennsylvania 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. SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, PROGRAMMER, ENGINEER, 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. SOFTWARE ENGINEER as a national label is row-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized lines.

Questions

How much have Software Engineer donors in Pennsylvania given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Software Engineer and state Pennsylvania total $1,848,343, from 8,593 contributions and 234 donors. Nationwide, Software Engineer-coded receipts are $64,582,668 from 353,424 contributions and 10,853 donors. Pennsylvania is 2.9% of those dollars.

Is Software Engineer the same as Software Developer in Pennsylvania?

No. SOFTWARE ENGINEER and SOFTWARE DEVELOPER are different occupation strings. This Pennsylvania join uses only SOFTWARE ENGINEER. Mixing the two would invent a combined coding-occupations total that is not a packet fact. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov.

What share of Software Engineer FEC money is from Pennsylvania?

2.9% of the $64,582,668 occupation total is in this Pennsylvania join ($1,848,343). Pennsylvania also accounts for 2.4% of contributions (8,593 of 353,424) and 2.2% of donors (234 of 10,853). Those three shares are computed from the packet facts only.

Does this money go to Pennsylvania candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Pennsylvania. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,848,343 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source.
