You may not see a problem with it, but think about what others reading your work would think if you were to write a story about someone who did you such favors. I think they would think you've maybe been charmed into write something nice about them. Sure, some people like to hear stories favorable to a certain individual or candidate, but I think most people appreciate journalistic impartiality and the opportunity to come to their own decisions.
