Crypto doesn’t need your party to win, just its candidates
Fairshake plans spending across 32 House races, backing 19 Republicans and 13 Democrats, including six candidates with disclosed $1 million commitments. The bipartisan strategy aims to maintain crypto’s influence regardless of which party controls Congress. The spending is independent of campaigns and cannot be coordinated with candidates, but can free up campaign resources. Support targets Republican financial-services leaders and Democrats who backed the House CLARITY Act. The piece argues that crypto firms seek predictable rules and cultivate allies across both parties, while warning that political access does not guarantee laws will protect users. Voters should scrutinize proposed legislation’s specific obligations, permissions, costs and consumer protections rather than assume either party or industry donors have the public’s interests at heart.
