US lawmaker claims crypto PACs forced out ’important voices in Congress’
Representative Summer Lee took aim at crypto-backed Super PACs funding media buys that could have contributed to two Democratic lawmakers losing their primaries.
Pennsylvania Representative Summer Lee staunchly criticized cryptocurrency-backed political action committees (PACs) for funding ads “demonizing” candidates in 2024 primaries — often for reasons unrelated to digital assets.
Speaking at an Oct. 24 virtual event hosted by Public Citizen and Americans for Financial Reform, Rep. Lee took aim at the “influence and control” special interest groups like crypto Super PACs used to target lawmakers running for reelection in 2024.
The Pennsylvania Representative claimed that money from the digital asset industry was being used to “silence the few representatives actually fighting to hold them accountable.”
