Rinkimai 4
In the 2016 Seimas elections she ran in the Nevėžio single-member constituency, winning 29.3% of the vote in the first round and then 65.2% in the runoff, defeating Social Democrat Edvardas Žakaris
„26. Nevėžio | Radvilė MORKŪNAITĖ-MIKULĖNIENĖ (Tėvynės sąjunga – Lietuvos krikščionys demokratai) – 29,27/65,15%... Edvardas ŽAKARIS (Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija) – 19,70/29,65%“
In the 2020 parliamentary elections, she switched to Vilnius’s Pilaitės–Karoliniškės constituency; she led the first round with 31.05% of votes against former PM Saulius Skvernelis (14.81%) and went on to win in the second round, earning another term in the Seimas
„8. Pilaitės–Karoliniškių: TS-LKD kandidatė Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė – 31,05 proc. balsų. LVŽS kandidatas Saulius Skvernelis – 14,81 proc. balsų“
In the 2024 Seimas elections, she lost the Pilaitės–Karoliniškių single-member constituency race to Vytautas Sinica (leader of the National Union party) in the runoff, but secured re-election via the TS-LKD party list due to her high list ranking
„Konservatorė Radvilė Morkūnienė-Mikulėnienė Vilniaus Pilaitės-Karoliniškių apygardoje pralaimėjo „Nacionalinio susivienijimo“ lyderiui Vytautui Sinicai. <...> jos oponentas kampanijos prieš antrąjį turą metu rinkosi akcentuoti būtent tai, kad ji jau patekusi į Seimą pirmajame rinkimų ture“
In the October 2024 Seimas elections, TS-LKD won 17 seats in the nationwide constituency with 17.96% of the vote, effectively assuring Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė’s re-election via the party list (she was ranked 2nd on the list)

Turtas ir pajamos 7
As a Deputy Speaker of the Seimas, her monthly salary (after taxes) rose to about €4,600 following the 2024 public sector pay reform
„Seimo vicepirmininkai gaus apie 4 600 eurų po mokesčių“
A rank-and-file Member of Seimas earned roughly €2,183 net per month in the 2020–2024 term, a figure that increased to about €3,781 net for the 2024–2028 term
„eilinio Seimo nario (neužimančio kitų pareigų) darbo užmokestis „į rankas“ didės nuo 2183 iki 3781 Eur“
During her tenure as a Member of the European Parliament (2009–2014), she received a standard MEP salary (which by 2024 was about €10,377 gross, ~€8,088 net per month) in addition to generous allowances
„As of January 1, 2024, the base salary of an MEP is €10,377.43 gross, which translates to €8,088.03 net per month after EU taxes... MEPs are also entitled to... allowances“
Her publicly declared assets place her in the mid-range among MPs – not in the top tier (which starts around €0.7–2 million in assets) nor among the least wealthy (under €15,000)
„Antakalnio apygardose... Turtingiausių Seimo narių penketuką užbaigia... R. Žemaitaitis deklaruoja turintis 940,5 tūkst. eurų, o... K. Mažeika – 740,2 tūkst. eurų. [...] Mažiau nei 10 tūkst. eurų vertės turtą... valdė 3 parlamentarai... Rūta Miliūtė su 12,5 tūkst. eurų ir Justas Džiugelis su 13,1 tūkst. eurų turto“
Unlike some colleagues whose spouses hold significant wealth (e.g. G. Landsbergis’s wife declared €16.3 million of assets), there is no public indication that Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė’s husband has substantial separate assets – her family’s wealth has not drawn special attention
„Turtingiausiu Seimo nariu... tapo... Gabrielius Landsbergis, su sutuoktine Austėja deklaravęs 16,7 mln. eurų turtą. Pats G. Landsbergis turto deklaravo už 395,1 tūkst. eurų, o jo žmona – už 16,3 mln. eurų“
No significant unexplained changes in her wealth have been documented over the past decade – her declared property and savings have grown gradually, without the sudden jumps seen in some other politicians’ disclosures
„Asmeninis socialdemokrato G. Palucko turtas per 2022–2023 metus ūgtelėjo 585 tūkst. eurų... Padidėjo ir parlamentaro sutuoktinės turtas...“
Since the mid-2010s, the Lithuanian tax authority (VMI) has publicly released annual asset declaration summaries (FR0001 extracts) of officials including Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė. Her filings over the past decade indicate moderate assets with no extraordinary spikes – she does not rank among the richest or the least wealthy MPs
„Vilniaus AVMI informuoja, kad VMI internetinėje svetainėje atnaujinti ir paskelbti metinių gyventojų (šeimos) turto deklaracijų duomenys už 2022 metus. Šiemet gyventojai gali susipažinti su 47 tūkst. viešai skelbiamų turto deklaracijų išrašų... VMI interneto svetainėje atnaujinti metinių gyventojų turto deklaracijų duomenys už 2023 metus“
