Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who faces felony charges for money laundering campaign finances, helped finance McMorris's campaign with a $5000 donation from ARMPAC, DeLay's political action committee. McMorris has not returned the money or donated it to charity, despite calls from Democrats to do so. [13] McMorris has said that there is no evidence that DeLay has broken the law. McMorris spokeswoman Jill Strait said, "The trial is ongoing, and [DeLay] has yet to be convicted."

McMorris also accepted $1,000 in campaign donations from former Rep. Randy Cunningham of California, who pleaded guilty in a corruption case. After Cunningham's guilty plea, McMorris donated the money received from Cunningham to a local charity.
