The Los Angeles Times reported that State Sen. Kevin De Leon of Los Angeles is getting free travel expenses and a ticket to Sunday’s Super Bowl game in New Orleans, and all he has to do is glad-hand some donors who are helping replenish the campaign account used to elect Democrats in California.

The Senate Democratic Caucus political staff “planned and organized a small but successful fundraising event at the Super Bowl this weekend to benefit the California Democratic Party,” said Jason Kinney, a member of the staff.
