Crypto's campaign arm, Fairshake, sets lists of U.S. House favorites it'll spend on
The crypto-focused super PAC Fairshake has identified a list of U.S. House candidates to support with significant funding. The organization aims to back pro-crypto incumbents from both parties to influence future digital asset legislation.
Why it matters
It illustrates the growing influence of single-issue lobbying groups on U.S. legislative priorities and election outcomes.
The candidates tend to be safe bets to return to Congress, potentially further reinforcing the existing support for crypto policies in Congress. Atop all those names, six of them are getting a million dollars each in support from Fairshake and its affiliates, according to a spokesman for the super PAC.
“Fairshake has always been and always will be an issue-focused organization," said Spokesman Geoff Vetter in a statement. "We back pro-crypto candidates who support American innovation in both parties."
The top recipients on the Republican side are three well-known names in crypto circles, including French Hill, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee who led the charge for crypto legislation in the House; Bill Huizenga, a senior member of that committee, and Bryan Steil, another member who also leads the subcommittee on digital assets.
