Lisa Murkowski

R Republican · Senator, Alaska

#94 of 193 scored

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) holds a passive individual-stock position (Wells Fargo, up to $500K) plus index funds and a DC rental property, but trackers show no active individual-stock trading over recent years, limiting STOCK Act timing concerns. Her disclosed net worth (roughly $1.2M-$3.2M range) is modest for a long-tenured senator and shows no evidence of growth beyond salary and market returns. Her strongest accountability signal is correlation-based: the oil and gas industry has historically been among her top donors while she sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and supports Alaska energy development, though this is alignment, not proof of quid pro quo. No FEC personal-use violations or family-lobbying ties surfaced in public records; her lifetime missed-vote rate (about 4.8%) is somewhat above the Senate median but not extreme.

The stock-trading ban

Senate cloture on H.R. 7008, Sep 30, 2026
Yes
Cosponsored a ban bill
None

H.R. 7008 bans new stock purchases by members, spouses and dependents; it doesn't force sales of existing holdings. The Senate vote was on the version paired with the SAVE Act, which is why no Democrat voted yes. Full breakdown →

Disclosed stock trades

No periodic transaction reports on file since 2024. That's the norm: most members don't trade individual stocks, or hold them in blind trusts and diversified funds.

Amounts are the ranges members must report, not exact values. The STOCK Act requires a report within 45 days of a trade; "late" counts days past that deadline, measured to the filing date.

Holds an individual-stock position in Wells Fargo (WFC, up to $500K) plus SPY and tax-exempt funds, but congressional-trade trackers report no active individual-stock transactions in recent years. Low self-dealing signal: a passive single-name holding with no documented trading timing or volume, though WFC is a regulated sector she could touch via banking-related votes.

Disclosed net worth falls roughly in the $1.17M-$3.16M range (2023 filing), modest for a senator serving since 2002. No public evidence of growth outpacing salary plus normal market/real-estate appreciation; primary assets are a DC rental apartment and a single equity position.

CORRELATION, NOT PROOF. Oil and gas has long ranked among Murkowski's top industry donors (e.g., ~$611K over six years cited in 2015), while she serves on / has chaired the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and consistently backs Alaska oil, gas, and ANWR development. Donor-vote alignment is real but reflects Alaska's resource economy and is not evidence of a quid pro quo.

No FEC enforcement actions or credible reports of campaign or leadership-PAC funds used for personal benefit surfaced in public records. Heavy out-of-state fundraising was noted by a 2025 opinion piece but concerns donor sourcing, not personal use.

—
No documented evidence of family members lobbying tied to her office or contracts, nor a notable staff-to-lobbyist pipeline, surfaced in public records. (Her father Frank Murkowski appointed her to the seat in 2002, but that predates and is separate from lobbying-for-profit concerns.)

Lifetime missed-vote rate of about 4.8% (389 of 8,105 roll calls, 2003-2026) is above the ~2.8% median of currently serving senators. Combined with strong out-of-state fundraising (~$6.8M raised in off-cycle 2025), there is modestly elevated job-vs-fundraising signal, though no evidence votes were missed specifically for fundraising or paid speeches.
