Just over a week after a “blue wave” gave Democrats control of the US House and Senate, 14 races remain uncalled, and their results could bring additional crypto supporters to Congress. According to Cointelegraph, three candidates in the undecided House races received backing from crypto political action committees (PACs), and Stand With Crypto classifies every candidate in the remaining races as either strongly supportive of crypto or as having no stated position. Rep. Nick Begich is leading in Alaska, where Defend American Jobs, Fairshake’s Republican-facing affiliate, backed him with $508,142 in the August primary. The same PAC spent $150,600 to support Rep. David Rouzer, who is leading in North Carolina’s 7th District. In Louisiana, state Sen. Blake Miguez will face Democrat Chauna Banks in a Dec. 12 runoff for the state’s 6th District; the Fellowship PAC backed Miguez with $250,000. The Associated Press called South Carolina’s 2nd District race for incumbent Rep. Joe Wilson on the morning of Nov. 11. Stand With Crypto rates Wilson as strongly supportive, bringing its House tally to 246 supporters and 107 opponents. The group lists the Senate as having 50 supporters and 33 opponents. Crypto advocacy groups are also looking ahead to the 2028 election and seeking to engage candidates who have not taken a public position on the industry. Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser said members without a stance present an opportunity for education. Nearly one in four members of the incoming Congress will be new, Fraser said, and many have given little thought to blockchain technology. The association is planning a January fly-in to meet newly elected lawmakers. Fraser said the group would consider it a major success to leave the 120th Congress with more members in Stand With Crypto’s A and B categories: A denotes strong support for crypto, while B indicates some support. She also said age plays a larger role than party affiliation in lawmakers’ crypto votes, with members under 55 much more likely to support the industry, and described the incoming class as younger. Fraser said she wants the industry to enter the 2028 election with two candidates who are thoughtful about the sector, reducing its dependence on the outcome of that election.
