The reelection campaign of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) paid out over $16,000 to Waters’s daughter in the second quarter of 2022, adding to the more than $1.2 million the congresswoman’s daughter has received from her mother’s campaigns since 2003.
According to campaign finance filings at the Federal Election Commission, Waters paid $16,500 to Karen Waters in June for work on the lawmaker’s reelection campaign. Filings indicate the payments were for “slate mailer management fees.”
