McCain's son resigns from bank boards

LAS VEGAS, July 27 (UPI) -- A son of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has resigned from the boards of two Nevada banks, company officials said.

Andrew McCain resigned from the Silver State Bancorp of Henderson and Silver State Bank boards for "personal reasons," the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Sunday, citing the bank holding company.

He was recently appointed chairman of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the newspaper said. He is also chief financial officer of Phoenix-based Hensley & Co., a large beer distributorship.

The newspaper said there were no indications that Andrew McCain's resignation from Silver State's boards was related to his father's presidential campaign.

Andrew McCain joined Silver State's boards in February, after Arizona-based Choice Bank, where he was a director, was acquired by Silver State.
