In the most gambling-relevant region of the state, Robertsdale farmer and first-time political candidate Terry Waters is drawing a hard line against any talk of legal gaming expansion in the state if elected.
Alabama Senate District 22 stretches across parts of Baldwin, Mobile, Washington and Escambia counties — and its largest city, Atmore, is home to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians’ Wind Creek Casino, the state’s biggest gaming operation.
That geography is what makes the May 19 Republican primary contest between Waters a unique one.
Albritton has spent nearly a decade as the Alabama Senate’s lead author of comprehensive gaming legislation. Waters is running hard in the opposite direction.
