SACRAMENTO — DraftKings Inc. and FanDuel Inc. have been spending big dollars to ensure state lawmakers enact favorable new rules allowing their daily fantasy sports operations to continue in California.
The companies have retained lobbying firms and a public relations coordinator, and more recently their industry group Fantasy Sports Trade Association has been running ads online and on radio stations around the state targeting their biggest Capitol critic, Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael. DraftKings also contributed $5,000 to a campaign committee controlled by the author of their favored legislation, Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced.
