Crypto PAC pours another $1M into Michigan House race
Michigan incumbent Shri Thanedar’s re-election bid against other Democratic candidates is getting more about crypto with an infusion of ads funded by an industry-aligned PAC.
The crypto industry is pouring a further $1 million into a Michigan House race, targeting incumbent Shri Thanedar in the upcoming primary. An affiliate PAC, Protect Progress, has allocated over $2 million to support Thanedar and criticize his Democratic opponent, Donavan McKinney. Thanedar, a crypto-friendly legislator, previously supported blockchain-related legislation and has been accused by McKinney of profiting from his position.
Fairshake PAC, an affiliate of Protect Progress, has spent over $82 million in 2026 races, with another $65,000 going to a Republican in Washington's 4th congressional race.
