Democratic Reps. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Maxine Waters of California have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to their family members over the years.
Karen Waters, who has been organizing slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother's re-election since 2003, and her company, Progressive Connections, have received more than $1.2 million from Waters’ campaign over the past nearly two decades.

A Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing this week by Citizens for Waters shows that Karen Waters received a total of $16,000 from the committee this quarter for "slate mailer management fees."
