Highlights

- The body has continued to back candidates with interest for blockchain
- It is still supported by many top industry firms
Crypto Super PAC Fairshake has just revealed the first candidates it plans to support in the forthcoming general elections. The organization, which has received millions in funding from key stakeholders, intends to place candidates with pro-crypto agenda in key elected positions. The first candidates it unveiled are vying for offices in the US Senate.
The Crypto Super PAC Candidates
According to an update shared on X by Fox Business Journalist Eleanor Terrett, the PAC’s affiliated funding bodies “Defend American Jobs” and “Protect Progress” has earmarked defined funds for Bernie Moreno, Ruben Gallego and Rep Elissa Slotkin respectively.
Notably, Defend American Jobs says it will commit approximately $12 million to support Bernie Moreno. He is in the race to displace Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Funding from these independent bodies is generally considered a major vote of confidence.
The Protect America PAC has reserved $3 million each in Arizona and Michigan to support Rep Gallego and Rep Slotkin. Both wants a seat at the US Senate. Since its founding, Fairshake has not backtracked on its core mission for the digital currency ecosystem. Over the past few months, the Political Action Committee has showed its resolution to disrupt the election scene in Washington this year.
Earlier this week, Fairshake announced $25 million TV Ad campaign. Per the report on the campaign, the organization planned to use this ad to boost awareness for 18 House Candidates. Ultimately, it plans to rally bipartisan support for crypto crypto and blockchain.
Industry Support For Fairshake
The traction that this organization is gaining hinges on the backing from top industry players. As reported earlier, Coinbase joined Ripple and a16z in $25 million donation to the organization.
Thus far, the actions of Fairshake has yielded good fruits. It reportedly played a key role in ousting anti-crypto lawmaker Jamaal Bowman. It spent $2 million in advertisement that opposed his ambitions.
While the role of the industry-backed political action committee is considered important, it has also faced significant backlash. Many have criticized it for not supporting John Deaton in his bid to displace Senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts. Though this remains the status quo, the trend might change in due course
