Winklevoss PAC moves into Texas Senate race with $81K ad buy

Summary

The Winklevoss-backed Digital Freedom Fund reported more than $81,000 in ads supporting Ken Paxton and opposing James Talarico in Texas, and about $7 million supporting Jon Husted in Ohio. The PAC had raised roughly $34 million by September 30. Crypto-aligned Fairshake reported more than $13 million in new spending, including $9 million for Husted and $4 million opposing Nebraska independent Dan Osborn; its Ohio spending totaled about $56 million. The spending aims to elect candidates viewed as supportive of crypto policy, as control of Congress could shape digital-asset legislation. Other groups and donors have also invested heavily in these races.
