Maxine Waters paid daughter $74,000 in campaign cash this year alone

Rep. Waters' campaign has paid over $1 million to her daughter over the years

House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has paid her daughter tens of thousands of dollars more in campaign funds this year.

Campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News show that the congresswoman's campaign has paid her daughter, Karen Waters, a cumulative $74,000 in donor cash through September.

The last quarter alone saw over $20,000 go to the younger Waters, which is nearly a third of the median American household income in 2020, according to the Census Bureau.

Waters' campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on the payments to her daughter.

Waters' daughter has received over $1.1 million for her work on her mother’s campaigns since 2003.

n fact, the 2020 election cycle alone saw $250,000 funneled to the House Financial Services Committee chairwoman's daughter.

The daughter of the California Democrat organized slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother's reelection.

Slate-mailing is an uncommon practice in federal elections, where a consulting firm is hired to create a pamphlet of sorts that contains a list of candidates or policy measures, and advises voters how to cast their ballots.

Rep. Waters was reportedly the only federal politician to use a slate-mailer operation during the 2020 general election.

Karen Waters isn't the only member of the family to cash in on Rep. Waters' career over the years.

In 2004, the Los Angeles Times revealed that the Waters campaign had shelled out over $1 million to other family members over the previous eight years.

In this corrupt system, communists have special rights and are never held accountable. Our justice system is a two tier corrupt system.

It’s been going on for years. I doubt she does much more than sit in an office opening up mail containing envelops of cash.

Crooked and corrupt through and through; however, the cards are all stacked in HER favor, so she won’t be called to account for this rip-off of her donors.

She does this every election cycle and nothing is ever done about it.

Always keep the candy and the ululate handy.

But outside of that inevitability, keep in mind, when the House flips next year, Pelosi (81) is done, son. She has said as much, and the Squat has treated her like a lame-duck. The MSM's refusal to acknowledge this has actually made it harder for Pelosi this term -- schadenfreude.

At any rate, the change in 2022 will also sweep out House Majority Leader Steney Hoyer (82) and that SOB Clyburn (81), who will have to be dragged out kickin and screamin' from the sweet cul-de-sac of his Majority Whip orifice.

Waters (83) may also be 'convinced' to retire, particularly if some dark horse or one of the Squat overruns Hakeem Jeffries for House Minority Leader to Speaker McCarthy.
