She is on the list of Abramoff Indian gambling related contributions. From the newspaper:

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.: received $40,980 in contributions from Abramoff-related Indian tribes from 1999 to 2005, according to The New York Times.

Was the contribution from the tribe that got ripped off, or from Abramoff using the money he stole?

From Abramoff, apparently to make Patty more friendly to Indian concerns.

I think (opinion) that part of the controversy stems from the fact that some of the republican senators, in an effort to distance themselves from the scandal, have claimed that they were returning the money, because it was essentially "stolen" from the tribes. I don't believe that Patty or Maria have made that announcement. I am pretty sure that 60 percent of the Native contributions that Patty received was from Wa tribes, leaving only 40 percent to out of state tribes. Not sure how many of those were Abramoff clients. Abramoff was advising that his clients dontate these large sums to many political action committees to gain favor from legislators.

Quote:
The contributions were legal under Federal Election Commission regulations, and the three-term Washington state Democrat said she didn’t know the lobbyist.

“This money is not coming from Jack Abramoff. It is not related to him,” Murray spokeswoman Alex Glass said Wednesday.
