Lobbyists have given Sen. Patty Murray more than $665,000 for her 2010 campaign, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics.She has received more than anyone in Congress this election cycle except Majority Leader Harry Reid, according to the nonpartisan group.
"Below are the top seven Senate recipients of lobbyist dollars since 2005, including contributions to their leadership PACs and campaign committees:"
| Candidate | Race | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Reid (D-Nev.) | NVS2 | $998,054 |
| Patty Murray (D-Wash.) | WAS2 | $665,950 |
| Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) | ARS2 | $494,701 |
| Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) | ALS2 | $467,991 |
| Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) | NYS2 | $363,938 |
| Richard Burr (R-N.C.) | NCS2 | $352,693 |
| Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) | IAS1 | $348,150 |
Most of that money has apparently come in recent months. It has more than doubled since the center's similar analysis in July.
