Fairshake and its affiliated Super PACs, Protect Progress and Defend American Jobs, were very active contributors to this election cycle, spending successfully across a variety of different races.
Protos used Federal Election Commission data compiled by OpenSecrets to help determine which states were the largest recipients of funds from these crypto industry-affiliated entities.
This approximately $133 million in spending was dominated by Ohio, where over $40 million was spent by Defend American Jobs to support the campaign of Republican Bernie Moreno, who has clinched the state’s Senate race.

Other expensive races saw approximately $10 million used to oppose Katie Porter in the California Democratic Senate Primary, $10 million to support Democrat Elissa Slotkin in her successful Michigan race for the Senate, and slightly more than $10 million to support Democrat Ruben Gallego in his successful Arizona Senate run.
Andreessen Horowitz, an important Silicon Valley venture capital firm, has already committed over $23 million to Fairshake and its affiliated Super PACs for the 2026 midterm cycle, ensuring crypto will remain an election issue.
