Georgia primary to test crypto PAC’s support for Democratic candidate

Latest NewsPublishedMay 18, 2026

Georgia Primary Puts Crypto Support to the Test

The upcoming Georgia primary will be a crucial test for the crypto community’s support of Democratic candidate Jasmine Clark. A political action committee (PAC) aligned with crypto interest groups has spent over $4 million in support of Clark’s campaign. This significant investment highlights the crypto community’s growing involvement in politics and their efforts to influence key elections.

The Protect Progress PAC, affiliated with the cryptocurrency company-backed Fairshake PAC, has been instrumental in supporting Clark’s campaign. With over $4.2 million spent on media, the PAC aims to secure a win for Clark in the state’s 13th Congressional district. Clark has expressed strong support for establishing clear legislative and regulatory frameworks for digital assets in the United States, making her a favorable candidate for the crypto community.

Crypto Interest Groups’ Influence

Crypto-aligned interest groups, such as the Protect Progress PAC and Fairshake, are expected to spend millions of dollars in 2026 to support candidates who advance pro-crypto policies. In 2024, Fairshake spent over $130 million on media and ads, resulting in significant support for pro-crypto candidates. The crypto community’s influence in politics is growing, with many candidates expressing support for digital assets and blockchain technology.

“From a Stand With Crypto perspective, we are going to do everything we can to give our advocates the tools they need to make sure that they make an informed vote and they’re able to cast their ballot on election day for the candidate that is pro-crypto they care about,” Mason Lynaugh, executive director of Stand With Crypto, told Cointelegraph on the organization’s work in 2026. “If everyone makes their voices heard […] we will have a more pro-crypto Congress than we did this past year.”

Cointelegraph sought a comment from Fairshake ahead of Tuesday’s voting but did not receive an immediate response.

Texas run-off election also getting big spending

Next week, voters in Texas’ 18th Congressional District will head to the ballot boxes to decide between Representative Al Green and Democratic candidate Christian Menefee. Protect Progress reportedly spent more than $1.5 million opposing Green in a March primary, but Menefee only secured 46% of voters compared to Green’s 44%, triggering a runoff on May 26.

FEC filings showed Protect Progress spent more than $2.8 million on media opposing Green, who while in Congress voted against legislation the industry largely supported, including the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. The PAC spent about the same amount supporting Menefee, who has publicly supported blockchain technology.
