Fairshake, the crypto industry's primary political action committee, has pledged $30 million to prevent Sherrod Brown from being re-elected as senator in Ohio. Fairshake spokesperson Geoff Vetter confirmed the news on Monday. This substantial expenditure marks the industry's largest single investment against a candidate in the 2026 midterm elections, similar to Fairshake's $40 million opposition to Brown two years ago, which helped remove an obstacle for the crypto industry in the U.S. Senate. Brown's critical stance on the crypto industry has been a pain point for the sector and its major backers, including Coinbase, Ripple Labs, and a16z.
