Crypto PACs report $2.7M spending blitz on House races as midterms loom
Summary
Fairshake-affiliated PACs reported $2.7 million in media and direct-mail spending to support House candidates in the 2026 US midterms, including Tom Emmer, Glenn Thompson, Pete Aguilar and Josh Gottheimer. The spending follows Fairshake’s endorsement of 32 candidates and its broader effort to elect lawmakers viewed as supportive of digital-asset policy. The PAC reportedly held $122 million in cash as of August and plans to spend at least $30 million opposing Sherrod Brown’s Senate campaign. Supported candidates voted for the CLARITY Act, which passed the House but stalled in the Senate after failing a procedural vote.
