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

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)

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

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)

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

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

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

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
