Fellowship Backs Six Republicans Amid Crypto Lobbying Efforts
Crypto-aligned super PAC Fellowship has endorsed six Republican candidates for the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. The endorsements, posted on X on Thursday, include Alan Wilson for South Carolina governor, Blake Miguez for Louisiana's 5th Congressional District, Mike Collins for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, Julia Letlow for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana, Pete Ricketts for the U.S. Senate in Nebraska, and Nate Morris for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky.
The PAC claims to hold over $100 million in funding from undisclosed backers with ties to the crypto industry. Fellowship named Jesse Spiro, Tether's head of government affairs, as its chair on April 1, signaling its intent to back candidates who support crypto-friendly legislation.
This comes as the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate. The bill, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in July, is one of the most comprehensive pieces of proposed crypto and banking legislation. Industry observers expect similar levels of activity heading into 2026, with some predicting that Fellowship could spend up to $130 million on congressional media buys.
Fellowship's endorsements are its first major public activity since it filed its statement of organization in 2025. The committee has not disclosed the identities of its donors and may accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labor unions, and other PACs under federal election law.
