State AG Received Donations From Gambling Interests

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Utah’s Attorney General is going after prediction markets like Kalshi, even as he takes political donations from gambling interests. Derek Brown received a 50-thousand dollar contribution from the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. It’s one of the world’s largest casino operators and they oppose most online gambling. Brown’s campaign tells KSL that the contributions have no impact on his policy decisions. He’s currently suing the prediction market Kalshi, claiming it’s really an illegal gambling site.
