Republicans won the Senate, but 2 crypto races are still up for grabs

Democrat Ruben Gallego was leading in a race for Arizona’s Senate race, while Republican Sam Brown trailed in Nevada.

Republican lawmakers in the United States have already flipped enough seats to secure a slim majority in the Senate for 2025, but the outcome for two candidates who received support from crypto-backed political action committees (PACs) and executives has yet to be determined.

As of Nov. 8, Republican Kari Lake was trailing Democrat Ruben Gallego in the race for an Arizona Senate seat. Lake has claimed to be a “pro-crypto candidate,” pledging to support some of Donald Trump’s policies on digital assets and Bitcoin (BTC), but did not appear to have received any campaign contributions from industry leaders or support from crypto-backed PACs.

The Fairshake PAC and its affiliates spent more than $10 million on media buys supporting Gallego, who led in the race against Lake with roughly 77% of votes counted at the time of publication. The Arizona lawmaker currently represents the state’s 3rd congressional district and voted in favor of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act while in office.

Crypto PAC’s final media buys before US Election Day go to Wisconsin

October 29, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The Fairshake PAC reported to the FEC spending more than $760,000 on a media buy supporting Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil, running for reelection in 2024.

The cryptocurrency-backed political action committee (PAC) Fairshake has reported one of its last expenditures before Election Day in the United States — and it’s supporting a Republican candidate in Wisconsin.

In an Oct. 28 filing with the Federal Election Commission, Fairshake reported spending more than $760,000 on a media buy supporting Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil, running for reelection in the state’s 1st congressional district. With seven days until US voters decide who their elected representatives will be in Congress and the White House, the media buy for Rep. Steil will likely be one of Fairshake’s final actions before Election Day.

Steil, who has served as a Wisconsin representative in the US Congress since 2019, voted in favor of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act and a resolution overturning the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121. The Republican lawmaker will face off against Democrat Peter Barca on Nov. 5, with an October poll showing Barca trailing Steil by three points.
