McCain and Team Have Many Ties to Gambling Industry
This article talks about McCain and his ties to the gambling industry. Apparently he has a pretty good relationship with them. He has built this close relationship over the 25 years that he was in Congress. This article talks about how McCain has helped the gambling industry.
This article stood out in my mind particularly because I never thought about the gambling industry much. I forgot the fact that the presidential candidates would try to reach out to them and help them out. Apparently McCain is a pretty big gambler, which came as a surprise to me. McCain was a two-time chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee and he has done more than any other member of Congress to shape the laws governing American casinos. “He has won praise as a champion of economic development and self-governance on reservations.” This is just another thing to think about when running a campaign. I never thought about reaching out to the gamblers of America and this article has opened my eyes to that. McCain definitely has these gamblers’ votes.
