Sen. John McCain’s Country First Political Action Committee is organizing its fifth annual NCAA basketball bracket group. By signing up with the PAC, potential and current donors can enter the bracket group, and the winner will receive an autographed basketball.

“I‘ve enjoyed the spirited competition from the basketball bracket challenges the past four years, and I’m looking forward to the challenge again this year,” the Arizona Republican wrote in an e-mail.
