The Daily Caller News Foundation reported $42,862 has already been paid to Karen Waters since the beginning of 2017 based on Federal Election Commission filings, while another $65,000 is listed as yet to be paid for “professional services” working on a “slate mailer.” According to The Washington Free Beacon, the younger Waters had collected approximately $650,000 as of April for running the slate mail operation for her mother over multiple election cycles. That figure will top over $750,000 by the end of this cycle. The Citizens for Waters slate mailers contain a list of all the candidates the congresswoman is endorsing. “The mailers are sent to nearly 200,000 residents in South Central Los Angeles, an area where Waters holds considerable clout,” The Beacon reported. “The mailers contain an ‘official sample ballot’ and brief quotes from Waters about the candidates and measures that she supports,” the news outlet added. During the 2016 election cycle, Citizens for Waters collected close to $300,000 from more than 20 payments to the campaign. Karen Waters was paid $65,287 during that cycle to run the slate mailer operation. In 2016, California Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris contributed $30,000 to Waters’ campaign to appear in the endorsement mailers. In 2010, she paid $28,000, according to The Beacon, for the same service when she was a candidate for California’s attorney general. The liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Waters one of the “most corrupt” members of Congress in 2011.
