Alaska U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski ended the year with more than six times the cash on hand as her chief Republican rival, Kelly Tshibaka, filings with the Federal Election Commission show. APM reports this.

Murkowski, who made official in November that she plans to seek reelection, reported bringing in nearly $1.4 million during the last quarter and ending 2021 with about $4.3 million available. Tshibaka, who announced her plans to run last March, reported bringing in nearly $602,000 in the last quarter and ending that period with about $634,000 on hand.

Tshibaka, who formerly led the state Department of Administration, has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. She has announced plans for a Feb. 10 fundraiser with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Tshibaka also has been endorsed by Alaska Republican party leaders.
