TechFlow news, March 21 — According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency industry's political action committee (PAC) Fairshake plans to spend $1.5 million supporting campaigns for two key U.S. House seats in Florida’s special elections. These seats are crucial for the Republican Party to maintain its narrow majority in the House. One of the vacant seats is linked to Matt Gaetz, who was nominated by President Trump for Attorney General but withdrew amid criminal charges.
According to Josh Vlasto, spokesperson for Fairshake, the super PAC will spend $1.2 million backing state senator Randy Fine’s campaign for the seat left by Michael Waltz, who currently serves as Trump’s national security advisor. Additionally, Fairshake will spend approximately $345,000 supporting state Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis in his bid for the seat vacated by Gaetz.
Both Republican candidates meet Fairshake’s primary criterion: support for digital assets. The Florida special elections will take place on April 1, with early voting starting this weekend. While Democrats have also invested significant funds, these seats have shown a clear Republican lean in recent voting patterns.
