Despite Maxine Waters’ elevated profile following the election of Donald Trump, the DemocRat Congresswoman is in financial despair.
Campaign filings reveal Waters received a paltry $22,000 in individual contributions this year and owes her daughter $100,000 for political mailer services.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
DemocRat Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.), who has been considered a leader of the movement within Congress to “resist” Donald Trump, has received a little more than $20,000 in individual contributions to her campaign so far this year despite her elevated profile.
Waters is also $100,000 in debt to her daughter, who runs a lucrative endorsement mailer operation for the campaign, filings show.
Citizens for Waters, Rep. Waters’ campaign committee, reported receiving just $12,600 individual contributions throughout the second quarter, which runs between April 1 and June 30. During the first quarter, which spans Jan. 1 to March 31, the campaign reported $9,508.79 in individual contributions. Waters has now pulled in just $22,108.79 in total individual contributions.
The campaign has compensated for the low amount of individual contributions by pulling in six figures from political action committees. The campaign reported $2,500 from PACs during the first quarter and $99,500 during the second quarter.
Rep. Waters’ campaign now has $193,714.02 cash on hand and debts totaling $128,748.12. A majority of the debt is owed to Karen Waters, the daughter of Maxine Waters.
As TGP previously reported, Maxine Waters is paying her daughter, Karen Waters ANOTHER $108,000 from campaign funds to ‘send out 200,000 mailers’. Karen Waters has collected approximately $650,000 to date for ‘running’ her mother’s mailer campaign. Once Karen Waters collects the $108,000, she will have made over $750,000 for sending out mailers since 2006. Who knew sending out mailers was so lucrative?Waters is also $100,000 in debt to her daughter, who runs a lucrative endorsement mailer operation for the campaign, filings show.

The lack of political contributions might be contributed to recent reports that Maxine Waters doesn’t even live in her own district.
