Wife Of Pechanga Chairman, Holly Macarro, Looking For Spot in Hillary Clinton's WH?

 Holly Cook Macarro, Red Lake Ojibwe, is another legal ace who is working hard to make sure the Hillary Clinton camp knows her name.  A former Democratic National Committee staffer and member of the Clinton administration’s White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, she’s now a tribal lobbyist with Ietan Consulting.

Married to tribal chairman Mark Macarro, of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians, she has many, many friends in Indian country, and her jobs haven’t called for her to get into many squabbles with tribal leaders, although her firm has made some enemies over its work on a Carcieri land-into-trust fix and other tribal lobbying issues.

 Cook Macarro joined IETAN CONSULTING from the Holland & Knight law firm, where lawyer Lynn Cutler serves as a senior advisor. Cutler joined the firm in 2001, after serving as senior staff to President Bill Clinton on Intergovernmental Affairs where she was in charge of overseeing advocacy for tribal governments.

The Pechanga tribe is well known for violating the civil and human rights of members of their tribe, and for practicing apartheid on their reservation in Temecula.
