As election results roll in, several new pro-crypto faces are set to join Congress in January. Notable among them is Jim Justice, West Virginia's Governor, who won the US Senate seat with 68% of the vote, backed by over $3 million from the Defend American Jobs PAC. He supports a crypto market structure that fosters innovation and protects investors. Julie Johnson from Texas’s 32nd district, backed by nearly $1 million from Protect Progress, has pledged to create clear regulations for the crypto industry. Republican Bernie Moreno narrowly bested Senator Sherrod Brown, seen as a crypto adversary, with substantial funding from Defend American Jobs. Adam Schiff, who received support from Fairshake during his Senate bid, has a mixed voting record on crypto-related resolutions. John Curtis, moving from the House to the Senate, also has considerable backing for his crypto-friendly initiatives. These elections highlight the growing influence of the crypto industry within US politics, with fresh leadership advocating for regulatory clarity and innovation.
