Crypto-backed super PACs swept Tuesday’s primary election, with all 11 candidates backed by Fairshake affiliates advancing or winning their races, extending the industry’s electoral winning streak while revealing a strategy increasingly focused on cultivating Democratic allies rather than supporting incumbent crypto champions.
The results spanned nine California congressional races, New Jersey’s 8th District and South Dakota’s Senate primary. The list included supporters of the Clarity Act, the GENIUS Act and protecting blockchain developers, as well as candidates who signed pro-crypto pledges through Stand With Crypto.
Among the winners were California Democrats Zoe Lofgren, Ted Lieu, Dave Min, Lou Correa and George Whitesides, along with New Jersey Democrat Rob Menendez and South Dakota Republican Mike Rounds.
All of this comes just a week after crypto-backed groups scored another string of victories in Texas, where Fairshake affiliates and other industry-backed PACs spent more than $9 million endorsing candidates across both parties.
The most notable defeat in Texas was Rep. Al Green, a longtime crypto critic and member of the House Financial Services Committee, who had an F rating from Stand With Crypto.
With Polymarket punters divided over which party will control Congress after November, crypto groups have increasingly pursued a bipartisan strategy that seeks to ensure they retain influence whether Democrats, Republicans or a divided government emerges from the midterms.
