Maxine Waters campaign to pay $68K for violating campaign finance laws

  • California Representative Maxine Waters' 2020 reelection campaign was fined $68,000 for violating federal campaign finance laws.
  • The fine followed a Federal Election Commission investigation that found Waters' committee understated contributions and spending and accepted excessive contributions.
  • The Citizens for Waters committee accepted $19,000 in excessive contributions from seven individuals and made four prohibited cash disbursements totaling $7,000 from petty cash.
  • Waters' attorney stated the campaign committee acknowledged errors were not willful, attributing them to limited staff and pandemic-related resource constraints, and amended reports accordingly.
  • The campaign agreed to pay the fine, cease violations, and send its treasurer to mandated training, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of Waters' long tenure since 1991.
