Democratic Sen. Kevin de Leon who was sworn in as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and his daughter Lluvia Carrasco, gesture to supporters Wednesday, October. 15, 2014, in Los Angeles, California.  De Leon has been sworn in as the first Latino to head the California Senate in more than a century with an expensive and out-of-the-ordinary soiree in downtown Los Angeles. The Wednesday night ceremony was held at Walt Disney Concert Hall with an estimated price tag of $50,000, unlike previous, usually low-key ceremonies at the state Capitol.<br />  (Photo by Ringo Chiu/PHOTOFORMULA.com)
