Maxine Waters Funneled More Than $1 Million Campaign Cash To Daughter ( go ahead ignore another crooked Demonrat politician Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters is one of the most controversial politicians in al of Washington, D.C. and her latest scandal is not going to help her case. The 82-year-old representative has funneled more than $1 million from her various campaigns to her daughter Karen Waters Karen Waters received over $1.1 million for her services with her mother’s campaigns — $250,000 of which came from the most recent election cycle, reported the Federal Election Commission. The daughter of the California Democrat organized slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother’s re-election. 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. A report in 2004 by The Los Angeles Times showed that various members of the Waters family were paid more than $1 million in the eight years prior to that story being written, and that was more than 16 years ago. “Waters’ husband has collected fees for opening doors with his wife’s political allies on behalf of a bond firm seeking government business,” The Times reported. “Son Edward Waters has shared in the slate mailer proceeds and has occasionally worked as a consultant to campaigns his mother supported,” it said. “They do their business and I do mine,” Waters, who was 66 at the time, said. “We are not bad people.” No, not bad people, but according to The Times, they are people who were part of a growing trend of family members of top politicians getting paid big bucks due to their family connections. During her latest campaign, which there was near no chance that she would not win in a landslide, the octogenarian paid her daughter Karen over 30 times,, mostly related to Slate Mailer Management Fees, The FEC noted. And Waters is far from alone. Before her November elections, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar had paid in excess of $1.7 million to E Street Group, which just happens to be a consulting firm that is owned by her husband, Tim Mynett. There was a complaint filed against Rep. Omar by the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) in August 2019 It is no wonder people like Reps. Waters and Omar like President Joe Biden so much. Like him, they know how to keep getting their families paid.
