fees, and &#8216;GOTV&#8217; &#8211; the acronym for a campaign&#8217;s &#8216;get out the vote&#8217; efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It was previously reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/maxine-waters-paid-daughter-campaign-cash\">FOX News<\/a>\u00a0that Waters paid Karen $74,000 for this year so far, up until September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The revelation comes 17 years after the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/18\/maxine-waters-campaign-paid-daughter-81k-in-fy-2021\/\">Los Angeles Times<\/a> first revealed that Waters paid her family over $1 million for their campaign efforts, and now the Democratic representative is facing renewed calls of nepotism.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"storyimage smallfullwidth inlineimage\"><span class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAPGklb.img?h=202&amp;w=300&amp;m=6&amp;q=60&amp;o=f&amp;l=f&amp;x=328&amp;y=78\" alt=\"(\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"storyimage smallfullwidth inlineimage\"><span class=\"caption truncate\"><span class=\"attribution\">\u00a9 Provided by Daily Mail<\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"storyimage smallfullwidth inlineimage\"><span class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAPG9hl.img?h=193&amp;w=300&amp;m=6&amp;q=60&amp;o=f&amp;l=f\" alt=\"(\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" \/><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"storyimage smallfullwidth inlineimage\"><span class=\"caption truncate\"><span class=\"attribution\">\u00a9 Provided by Daily Mail<\/span> (<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Waters&#8217; daughter, Karen, had been working on her campaigns for decades, and has been paid over $1.1 million for her work since 2003, with $250,000 earned in just the 2020 election cycle, according to FOX.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">On the campaigns, FOX reports, Karen, 63, would organize slate-mailing operations, an uncommon practice in federal elections where a consulting firm is hired to create a pamphlet that lists candidates or policy measures for each person campaigning for election, and advises voters how to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She would charge candidates for spots on her mother&#8217;s slate mailer, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2004, and was also paid by a nonprofit organization she and her mother set up &#8211; funded in part by special interests in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Waters&#8217; son Edward Jr\u00a0 shared in the slate mail proceeds and occasionally worked as a consultant to campaigns Waters backed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Democratic representative from California defended the payments to the Times back then, saying: &#8216;They do their business and I do mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We are not bad people.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Waters has been a United States representative since 2013, and she is up for re-election in 2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow nonfullscreen clean content\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"192094609 - Provided by Daily Mail\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAPG9ht.img?h=373&amp;w=624&amp;m=6&amp;q=60&amp;o=t&amp;l=f\" alt=\"192094609\" width=\"624\" height=\"373\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"attribution\">\u00a9\u00a0Provided by Daily Mail<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But now, Waters is facing renewed criticism for the payments, with many on Twitter calling for her to be held legally accountable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One Twitter user, Paul Young, even called for her resignation, and Lt.
