This Democrat is Funneling Money to His Wife and Daughters Through Campaign Funds

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The phrase “corrupt Democrat” is a little redundant at this point, thanks to politicians like Rep. LuisĀ Gutierrez.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.) has paid his wife and daughters hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaignā€™s coffer since 2010, according to campaign finance data.Ā Gutierrez, who was first elected to Congress in 1993, brought his wife, Soraida Gutierrez, onto his campaignā€™s payroll six years ago to act as his office manager, treasurer, and fundraiser.Ā Soraida Gutierrez was a registered lobbyist in the state of Illinois from 2003 to 2009 before joining Gutierrez for Congress. She has since raked in more than $300,000 for her work on behalf of the committee while being the top recipient of campaign cash in three cycles since stepping into her role.

The first time Soraida acted in an official capacity for the campaign, in 2010, she pulled in over $44,000 and was the top recipient of cash from the Gutierrez campaign that year.Ā Soraida then pocketed over $93,000 in 2012, making her the biggest beneficiary of campaign funds for the second election cycle in a row. The committee disbursed $383,848 in 2012, so Soraidaā€™s payments constituted roughly 25 percent of all campaign expenditures.Ā Soraida was yet again the top beneficiary of cash from Gutierrez for Congress during the 2014 election cycle, receiving $110,000. Herman Andrew, a vendor, was the second highest-paid individual at $24,000.

While it might have been technically legal to pay his family exorbitant amounts of money on the campaign payroll…. it definitely isn’t ethical. Democrats pretend to be the “party of the people,” but their populist rhetoric is just that- words.

At the end of the day, Democrats are only interested in exploiting the hardships of others to line their own pockets.
