The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will hold a confirmation hearing tomorrow for Jonodev Chaudhuri to serve as chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission. Chaudhuri is a member of the Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma. He serves as vice chair of the NIGC and also as acting chair because the agency that regulates the $28 billion tribal gaming industry has been without a Senate-confirmed leader since September 2013. The committee considered Chaudhuri last November but did not take action before the end of the last session of Congress. President Barack Obama re-submitted the nomination in January, starting the process all over again. Chaudhuri is the only witness on the agenda. The hearing takes place at 2:30pm in Room 628 of the Senate Dirksen Office Building. Committee Notice:
