Ripple backs Deaton with $1M donation in senate race against Warren
Ripple has the back of one its strongest supporters in his attempt to unseat powerful Senate crypto foe Elizabeth Warren.
Ripple has donated $1 million to the super political action committee (PAC) Commonwealth Unity Fund to support John Deaton’s campaign in the Massachusetts Republican senatorial primary on Nov. 5. Deaton is challenging incumbent Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is an ardent crypto opponent.
Deaton is a lawyer best known to the crypto community for his support of Ripple Labs. His law practice concentrates on victims of mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases. He also owns the website CryptoLaw.
Deaton spearheaded the so-called XRP Army of tokenholders who volunteered to serve as third-party volunteer defendants in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) suit against Ripple. He has also submitted numerous amicus curiae letters in high-profile SEC cases against crypto firms.
