As early voting commences in Texas, the Bitcoin Voter PAC, supported by cryptocurrency mining executives, has released ads backing Republican Senator Ted Cruz in his reelection campaign against Democrat Colin Allred. The PAC's ads highlight Cruz's support for Bitcoin but do not elaborate on Allred's policies. Cointelegraph reports that the PAC, which includes executives from firms like Marathon Digital Holdings and Riot Platforms, has not recorded any financial contributions or expenditures for the 2024 election as of late September. Texas, a significant hub for crypto mining, has seen Cruz campaigning since his Senate entry in 2013, while Allred has served in Congress since 2019. Polls suggest Cruz maintains a slim lead in this race, crucial for the state's political landscape, especially with no Democratic statewide officials if Allred wins. The Texas Blockchain Council supports Cruz, citing his pro-crypto stance, despite acknowledging Allred's favorable view of the industry. Texas remains central in cryptocurrency litigation and economic activities.
