Crypto PACs Expend Heavily in Texas Runoffs Amid Regulators Debates

Crypto PACs have made a significant impact in Texas primary runoffs, spending over $9 million to support candidates aligned with the digital asset industry.

The most notable wins include Attorney General Ken Paxton's victory over four-term Senator John Cornyn in the Republican U.S. Senate runoff and Democrat Christian Menefee's unseating of Al Green in Houston's 18th Congressional District.

Crypto PACs like Fairshake and Fellowship PAC have pursued a bipartisan strategy, backing candidates from both parties who support digital asset innovation. Fairshake alone reported $193 million in cash reserves heading into the 2026 election cycle, making it the largest super PAC in the country.
