Maxine Waters Paid Her Daughter over $70k in Campaign Funds This Year

While Americans suffer through economic hardships generated by the coronavirus pandemic, Rep. Maxine Waters paid her daughter over $74,000 in campaign funds so far this year.

According to the New York Post, between October 2020 and June 2021, financial records indicate that Maxine Waters paid her daughter up to $81,000 in 12 installments for "Slate mailer management" fees and "Get Out The Vote" services.

During the last election cycle, between March 2019 and September 2020, Maxine Waters paid her daughter up to $250,000 through 26 installments for the same efforts.

As Fox News noted, federal elections typically do not employ "Slate-mailing," wherein the campaign hires a consulting firm to "Create a pamphlet of sorts that contains a list of candidates or policy measures, and advises voters how to cast their ballots." Maxine Waters was reportedly the only federal candidate to employ this practice during the 2020 election cycle.

Maxine Waters has faced accusations of nepotism before.

In 2004, the Los Angeles Times reported she paid over $1 million to family members in the course of eight years.

Daughter Karen Waters has charged candidates for spots on her mother's "Slate mailer," a sample ballot that many voters in South Los Angeles use to guide their choices.
