Political efforts tied to the crypto industry scored another set of wins in 
Texas, strengthening the case that the sector’s influence in US politics 
remains strong under a more pro-digital asset administration. According to 
reporting from Eleanor Terret of Crypto In America, the crypto industry went 
6-for-6 backing winning candidates in the Texas primary runoffs held Tuesday 
night. Anti-Crypto Hits At The Ballot Box One of the biggest results came from 
the Democratic primary runoff in Texas’s 18th Congressional District. In that 
race, Terret reported that Rep. Christian Menefee defeated 20-year incumbent 
Rep. Al Green. Fairshake, the industry’s leading super political action 
committee (PAC), took credit for the win after spending roughly $6.5 million 
on the race, largely through advertisements supporting Menefee. Related

First A Fairshake spokesman, Geoff Vetter, argued that Green’s loss showed how 
anti-crypto positions can have real electoral consequences, noting that Green 
was the first Democratic incumbent this cycle to lose his seat. Vetter also 
said Fairshake would continue to “aggressively back” leaders such as Menefee. 
Elsewhere in Texas, several other races also went in the direction favored by 
crypto-aligned groups. Candidates Alex Mealer, Tom Sell, John Bonck, and 
Carlos De La Cruz all won their respective runoffs. In total, Fairshake 
reportedly spent roughly $1.8 million backing those candidates. Crypto-related 
efforts were also part of some Republican outcomes. Attorney General Ken 
Paxton’s upset victory over Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary 
runoff reportedly drew support from crypto-aligned money as well. California 
Top-Two Primary Beckons With Texas now behind them, Terrett reported that 
crypto political groups are already looking ahead to the next targets. The 
next state on Fairshake’s radar appears to be Maryland. There, state lawmaker 
Adrian Boafo is running in the June Democratic primary for the state’s 5th 
Congressional District, and Fairshake has already spent about $2.12 million 
supporting him. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Next Rally Could Start With

Congressional District next week. In that race, long-time crypto critic Rep. 
Brad Sherman faces Jake Levine, a former Biden White House official, as both 
compete to advance to November’s general election. Featured image created with
