Crypto PAC Fairshake leaps into first midterm Senate race with $5 million in Alabama
Summary
The crypto industry's leading campaign-finance operation, the Fairshake political action committee, is launching its midterm season with a significant $5 million commitment to support U.S. Congressman Barry Moore in Alabama's Republican Senate primary. One of Fairshake's affiliates, Defend American Jobs, is funding this spending to back Moore, who is running to replace Senator Tommy Tuberville. Fairshake stated it supports Moore as a leader who will fight for economic growth and make America the crypto capital. The PAC's primary goal is to promote pro-crypto candidates who will pass friendly legislation, having also recently supported Representative French Hill, who led the charge on crypto legislation through the House. The $5 million will be spent via independent expenditures, such as ads that may feature Moore's endorsement from Donald Trump, rather than directly coordinating with the campaign.
