Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.) has paid his wife and daughters hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign’s coffer since 2010, according to campaign finance data.

Gutierrez, who was first elected to Congress in 1993, brought his wife, Soraida Gutierrez, onto his campaign’s payroll six years ago to act as his office manager, treasurer, and fundraiser.

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.

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 Soraida’s payments constituted roughly 25 percent of all campaign expenditures. ...

Show me were Dr. Ron Paul or Donald Trump has ever done it, Donald has never held office, your statements , as usual, are not very well thought out and are with very little fact or substance.

Your failure to mention bill and Hil-Liary clinton shows your ignorance and bias.

Hey Cruzite, which part of office holder transferring campaign funds to his wife did you not understand. Keep digging that hole.

office holder transferring campaign funds to his wife

So if a non-office-holder transfers campaign funds to his family, that's A-OK in your book?
