In the 2025–26 cycle Murkowski’s campaign raised $1.3M: $896K (70%) from individuals and $336K (26%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $1.5M.

Through Jun 30, 2026; filings lag, so recent gifts can take weeks to appear. Money raised also counts loans and transfers, so the shares need not add to 100%. Source: FEC.gov.
