$30 Million Ad Blitz Targets Sherrod Brown in Ohio Senate Race
Fairshake is targeting Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown in the 2026 Senate race with a $30 million ad campaign. The campaign is a response to Brown's vote against the CLARITY Act, which aimed to establish clearer regulatory guardrails for the cryptocurrency sector.
This isn't Fairshake's first time going after Brown; they spent $41 million in 2024 and succeeded in unseating him. Now that Brown is running again, he faces an even steeper challenge with a significant fundraising disadvantage and added outside spending from Fairshake.
Fairshake has reported $120.4 million in available funds, backed by major cryptocurrency firms like Coinbase and Ripple, as well as venture capitalists such as Andreessen Horowitz. The group plans to expand its spending into additional House and Senate races beyond Ohio.
