Two Republican candidates supported by the crypto-funded political action committee Fairshake have secured seats in the US House of Representatives following a special election in Florida.
Jimmy Patronis won in Florida's 1st Congressional District with 57% of the vote, while Randy Fine won the 6th District seat with 56.7% support.
Fairshake, backed by major industry players such as Coinbase and Ripple, invested approximately $1.16 million for Fine and $347,000 to support Patronis's campaign.
The victories strengthen GOP control in these traditionally Republican strongholds, increasing the likelihood of advancing crypto-related legislation in Congress.
