Fairshake is backing 32 sitting members of the U.S. House in the November elections as the crypto industry prepares for another policy fight in Washington. The super PAC’s new list includes 13 Democrats and 19 Republicans, showing a bipartisan approach focused on lawmakers who have supported digital asset legislation.
Fairshake Backs Key House Lawmakers
Six candidates will receive about $1 million each in independent support from Fairshake and affiliated groups. Republican recipients include Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, Bill Huizenga and Bryan Steil, all of whom have worked on crypto policy in the House.
Democrats receiving the same level of support include Steven Horsford, Derek Tran and Janelle Bynum. Their records include votes or committee work tied to digital asset rules. The spending comes as the industry responds to thinner SEC and CFTC leadership and the stalled CLARITY Act.
Crypto Policy Shapes Election Spending
Many of the 32 lawmakers sit on committees expected to handle future crypto bills. The list includes members of House Financial Services, Ways and Means, Agriculture, Judiciary and Science panels. Those committees cover market rules, taxes, commodities, legal questions and technology policy.
Fairshake spokesman Geoff Vetter said the organization supports candidates from both parties who back crypto innovation in the United States. He said Fairshake has supported 53 winners across 57 primary races and wants to build a larger pro-crypto group in Congress.
The election push follows renewed regulatory activity after the market structure bill stalled in the Senate. Federal agencies have continued moving ahead with crypto rules, including new CFTC crypto trading proposals covering leveraged and margined digital asset trading.
Senate Battles Remain a Focus
Fairshake has not announced a broad campaign against senators who opposed the market structure bill. Its greatest Senate-related effort instead targets former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, who is seeking a return to Congress. The campaign comes as a major crypto lobby group changes leadership after the Senate setback.
The PAC uses independent advertising and does not coordinate those purchases with candidates. Its advertisements often focus on voter issues rather than crypto. The spending arrives as regulators advance new stablecoin rules under the GENIUS Act and Congress prepares for another round of digital asset policy debates after the elections. Debates may resume when lawmakers return after November for further talks.
