Ruben Gallego’s Campaign Funded Luxury Family Outings
Politico says Gallego’s committees spent nearly $35,000 on Super Bowl tickets and thousands more on family travel and childcare reimbursements.
- On Sunday, Politico reported that Senator Ruben Gallego routinely used campaign funds for family trips, including Disney parks and a 2023 Super Bowl event costing nearly $35,000.
- The 2023 Super Bowl gathering was billed as a fundraiser for the Swallego Victory Fund, where Gallego and Rep. Eric Swalwell used campaign funds for tickets and a $2,715 brunch.
- Campaign records show Gallego disbursed more than $18,000 for childcare and spent over $9,000 on a hotel in Miami for family travel, according to FEC filings.
- A spokesperson for Gallego defended the spending, claiming tickets were purchased at "fair market value" and that hosting donors at events is a common, bipartisan practice permitted by FEC regulations.
- Senate leadership is weighing an ethics investigation into Gallego regarding allegations of misconduct that are "sexual in nature," though officials have yet to determine if the probe will proceed.
