Christian Menefee has successfully unseated long-time incumbent Al Green in Texas's 18th Congressional District Democratic primary runoff. The race was marked by starkly different views on digital assets, with Menefee embracing blockchain technology while Green remained a vocal critic. The victory was bolstered by millions of dollars in support from the Fairshake-affiliated super PAC, Protect Progress. Fairshake officials characterized the defeat as a sign that anti-crypto stances carry electoral consequences, marking the first time a Democratic incumbent has lost their seat in this cycle due to such dynamics.
