A Democratic lawmaker is paying his longtime girlfriend the maximum congressional staffer salary of $168,411, and she has collected more than $2.2 million working for him since 2000.
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D., Fla.) has employed his girlfriend, Patricia Williams, for more than 20 years.
Williams began working for Hastings as a staff assistant in 1993 and held this position until 2006. She became his deputy district director in 2006 and currently works out of his district office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Williams has been compensated handsomely for her work with Hastings, according to publicly-available information about congressional salaries on LegiStorm.
