WASHINGTON, July 13 (UPI) -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who's leaving public office in two weeks, raised nearly $733,000 since starting a federal political action committee, a report shows.
Documents filed Monday with the Federal Elections Commission show Palin, who pledged to keep her hand in politics even though she's stepping down as governor, has donated $10,000 to federal candidates through SarahPAC, USA Today reported. Her political action committee was established in January.
Palin gave $5,000 each to Arizona Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who tapped her to be his running mate during the 2008 presidential election, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.
SarahPAC ended June with nearly $457,000 cash on hand, USA Today reported. Consulting and fundraising expenses accounted for the bulk of her spending.
Palin announced July 3 that she was resigning as governor before the end of her first term, fueling speculation that she was considering a White House bid in 2012. She steps down July 26.
