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.”
Karen Waters runs Progressive Connections, Fox News reported, and has been organizing slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother’s reelection campaigns over the past two decades.
Little is known about the company, which does not appear to have an official website, and no mention of it is made on Karen Waters’s LinkedIn profile….
