Peter Mathews Suppporting Online Poker Regulation

Manne wrote: One of the major struggles for online poker advocates in the past few years has been getting the attention of current members of Congress and then educating them about the major issues concerning the game. It has been rare that a politician arrives in Washington, D.C., with a decidedly pro-online-poker viewpoint.

But that’s exactly what Peter Mathews is trying to do as he runs as a Democrat for California’s 37th district.

(Mathews, who is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in a district that includes Long Beach, Carson, Compton, and Watts, says that he supports both Rep. Barney Frank’s and Sen. Robert Menendez’s poker bills in Congress.)
