The Bronx politician who was fined for putting his wife on his campaign payroll with no documentation of her work also employed his brother and two daughters.

Records show that City Councilman Andy King (D-Bronx) has paid $7,158 in campaign funds to his brother, Mike Hill; $500 to his daughter Victoria King; and $1,700 to his stepdaughter Lynette Shillingford.

His wife, Neva Shillingford, pulled in a total of $31,054 over three campaigns, the records show.

Candidates are allowed to hire relatives with privately raised funds as long as they can document they’re doing actual work. They may not use public matching funds to pay them.

King told The Post his family members were paid to work.

He said his wife has long been a political operative and even ran the Bronx operation on the mayoral campaign of David Dinkins.

“She’s qualified to do the work,” he said.
