Maxine Waters Pays Daughter Another $16.5k In Campaign Funds, Adding To $1.2M In Previous Payments

Maxine Waters has paid her daughter over $1.2 million in total over the last decade and it's all been legal

  • Karen Waters has been organizing slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother's re-election since 2003
  • Rep. Waters, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee chairwoman, was the only federal politician to use a slate campaign operation during the 2020 general election

Republicans are aiming to put a ban on lawmakers from putting family members on the campaign payroll

  • The Family Integrity to Reform Elections (FIRE) Act, introduced by Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas), would bar any candidate running for federal office from compensating immediate family members for campaign services.
  • If the bill becomes law, any candidate who violates the ban would face a fine of either $100,000 for each violation or twice the amount paid to the family members - whichever is greater - and/or imprisonment for up to two years.
