Bob Tingle on Principles & Values

Republican Senate Challenger (RI)

A casino pit boss, knows the odds are against him

I definitely have a chance. It's a race, so I have a chance (to win). Someone has to win. It could be me. But Robert Tingle, a casino pit boss, isn't na‹ve. "Trust me; I know the odds are against me. But it's not a game. It's democracy."

Tingle, a Pennsylvania native by way of New Jersey, worked in Atlantic City casinos before moving to Westerly, currently on Albert Street, to work at Foxwoods Resort and Casino.
