Members of US Congress backed by crypto PACs to take office on Jan. 3
Interest groups suggested that a majority of lawmakers in the US House of Representatives would be “pro-crypto” after the 2024 election.
United States lawmakers who benefitted from support from the cryptocurrency industry in their respective 2024 primaries or elections will soon be sworn into office for the 119th session of Congress.
Crypto executives and political action committees (PACs) like Fairshake and its affiliates poured millions of dollars into media buys to support “pro-crypto” candidates in the 2024 election cycle, which could have contributed to some politicians winning in certain tight races across the country.
One of the most high-profile elections saw Republican Bernie Moreno defeating incumbent Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown by roughly 200,000 votes after the Defend American Jobs PAC spent more than $40 million.
