It must be nice to be a member of Rep. Maxine Waters’ family. In fact, it can be quite lucrative, given that the lawmaker can flout campaign finance laws with impunity. The fact that, despite having been under scrutiny on several occasions due to her shady practices, she still gets away with it could make one wonder why our legislators even bother putting on a show of caring about ethics.
Waters is reportedly facing criticism from Republicans for continuing to give money from her campaign, directing thousands of dollars to her daughter, Karen Waters, for various services, as per campaign finance disclosures:
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) in the second quarter of 2023 continued her long-held practice of paying her daughter with funds from her campaign, which steered thousands of dollars to Karen Waters, campaign finance disclosures show.
The campaign for Maxine Waters has paid more than $1.2 million to Karen Waters since 2003 for slate-mailer operations and also items such as “administrative services,” “fundraising,” and “rally expenses,” the Washington Examiner reported. On April 27, Karen Waters was sent $8,000 combined from her mother’s committee, Citizens for Waters, for a “slate mailer management fee,” according to newly released disclosures.
The revelation that Waters has poured more cash into the pockets of Karen Waters comes amid scrutiny from the GOP and watchdog groups over politicians using their campaigns to support their family members. “Squad” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) faced multiple ethics complaints earlier this year over her payments to Cortney Merritts, a security professional from St. Louis, Missouri, whom she married in February in a private wedding ceremony.
