Last year, the Senate majority leader’s campaign purchased nearly $17,000 in “holiday gifts” for supporters and staffers from his granddaughter’s jewelry business. The FEC has inquired about the expenditure. It’s unclear when her business’ website was last online: the website is no longer online and appears to have last been updated in 2012.
This is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. His granddaughter's name is Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

She has her own line of jewelry called "Ryan Elisabeth."
Why is this relevant? Because Reid's campaign spent nearly $17,000 on Ryan Elisabeth jewelry using campaign funds in October 2013, without disclosing that "Ryan Elisabeth" was Reid's granddaughter.
Reporter Jon Ralston first reported the connection. Reid said the jewelry was used for Christmas gifts for staffers and supporters.

After a Federal Elections Commission inquiry about the gifts and media reports about who the gifts were purchased from, Reid announced he would reimburse the campaign the jewelry money.
