Congratulations to our 2025 Congressional App Challenge winner, Arav Gandhi, for his hard work and commitment to helping others with his gambling addiction recovery app, AIR Poker,” said Leader Scalise. Gandhi created AIR Poker, an app designed to help individuals manage gambling addictions by reimagining the card game as a tool for recovery to help manage emotional regulation and offer a responsible play habit. The winning app was selected by a panel of judges that evaluated student app submissions across Louisiana’s First Congressional District. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
