The Democrat Way: Maxine-'In Hot'-Waters Paid Daughter $250,000 For 'Election Help'

The reelection of the U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters to another term in Congress last month showed to be something of a financial blessing for Karen Waters, the California Democrat's daughter, federal election data suggest.

Karen Waters got a total of approximately $240,000 from her 82-year-old mother’s campaign throughout the election cycle, Federal Election Commission records reveal.

The dollar figure seems to mirror what Karen Waters collected throughout her mother’s previous campaign in 2018, when the daughter was paid “more than $200,000,” according to a November 2018 report by the Washington Free Beacon.

The 2018 report revealed that the majority of Karen Waters’ payments were for “slate mailer” services that the daughter provided for the campaign, in which other candidates in Southern California paid Maxine Waters’ campaign for support quotes that were included on mailings sent out to voters on behalf of those other candidates.

Back in 2004, the Los Angeles Times announced that various Waters family members had stolen a sum of more than $1 million over eight years from businesses and campaigns linking to the congresswoman. Though she separated herself from any connections to those activities.

“They do their business and I do mine,” Waters told the Times at the time. “We are not bad people.”

The congresswoman’s filing this year to the FEC says that her daughter Karen Waters repeated after her past campaign position.

The newest data appear across two different pages of the FEC website: a newly suggested listing of campaign payments (called a “post-general” filing) that covers more than $28,000 in payouts to Karen Waters, and an earlier submitted recording on a page titled, “Schedule B: Itemized Disbursements,” that covers more than $212,000 in payments to the daughter.

The newest FEC filing reveals five entries for Karen Waters: a $1,000 payment dated Oct. 23 for “Walker payments”; payments of $900 and $5,000, dated Oct. 30 and Nov. 2, respectively, both marked “GOTV”; and payments of $8,750 and $12,500,” dated Nov. 6 and Nov. 17, respectively, both marked “Slate Mailer Management Fee." The five payments total $28,150.

The goals for the payments remain unclear, although “GOTV” may refer to a general “Get out the vote” service.

Payments to other recipients that surface on the same newly submitted document propose fees for event staging, package delivery, campaign consulting, telecom service, and media advertising.

The document notes a “Total Disbursement Amount (Non-Memo)” of $480,275.72 and a “Total Disbursement Amount (Memo)” of $30,006.05.

The FEC's listing of previously revealed payments to the daughter for the most recent election cycle confers Karen Waters to be the highest-paid of the 10 recipients on the page.
