Waters Campaign Pays $30K More to Daughter, Ignores Other Debts freebeacon.com/politics/water…
Rep. Waters has paid her daughter Karen more than $800,000 from her campaign committee to run a slate mailer operation since the mid-2000's. The endorsement mailers have proven lucrative for both Rep. Waters's federal committee and her daughter.
As of Oct. 17, 2018, Karen had collected $108,000 from the campaign to run the operation for the 2018 midterm cycle, with another $94,000 reported as being owed to her.
During the first quarter this year, Waters's campaign paid out $50,000 to Karen. Her committee's most recent filings show that throughout the second quarter another $30,000 was doled out, bringing the debt owed down to $108,000.
But as Waters quickly knocked off $80,000 in debt to her daughter this year, much smaller debts owed by the campaign have remained ignored.
The committee has maintained debts of $300 for a security guard and $600 for sound for a Christmas event; they first appeared on her post-general report from December and are still marked on her July quarterly report.
A $503.45 catering obligation for a fundraising event also appears on both the year-end and July quarterly report.
An American Airlines travel expense of $719.60, incurred between April 1 and May 16, 2012, is shown on the campaign's most recent report.
Waters's campaign treasurer did not respond to a request for comment on why the campaign has quickly paid out large sums owed to Karen Waters, while some other debts have remained unaddressed for years, by press time.
