The Super Bowl has always been a giant schmooze fest for members of Congress, administration officials and the people who lobby them, so ProPublica is taking a closer look at the political festivities and fundraising activities surrounding Super Bowl XLIV. We’re especially interested in learning what the Democratic National Committee or the Republican National Committee might have planned -- so far they haven’t responded to our repeated requests for information. If you know of any fundraising or other political activity linked to the Super Bowl, which will be played Feb. 7 in Miami's Dolphin Stadium, please contact reporter Marcus Stern by e-mail or by phone at (202) 257-9483.
ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. We strive to foster change through exposing exploitation of the weak by the strong and the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
