Stand With Crypto Unveils Midterm Endorsements Amid Industry Tensions
The crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto has unveiled a slate of endorsements for Senate and House candidates ahead of the November midterms. The group, backed by Coinbase, is supporting Republican Senator Jon Husted in Ohio, who faces off against former Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown, a long-time crypto skeptic.
The endorsements also include Republican Representative Ashley Hinson running for a Senate seat in Iowa and Democratic Representative Chris Pappas running in New Hampshire. Stand With Crypto said it picks candidates based on their crypto policy positions 'regardless of party.'
In the House, the group endorsed Iowa Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Alabama Democrat Shomari Figures, and plans to ramp up advertising in six House campaigns.
