Fairshake, the crypto-backed super PAC, is spending $30 million on an ad and mail campaign against Sherrod Brown in the Ohio Senate race. The blitz began on September 22 and the group reported about $120.4 million in available funds as of September 20. Backers named in filings include Coinbase, Ripple and Andreessen Horowitz.
The push was sparked by Senate Democrats voting unanimously against the CLARITY Act, a bill intended to set regulatory guardrails for the cryptocurrency sector. Fairshake previously spent $41 million against Brown in 2024, when he lost his seat to Bernie Moreno; Brown now faces Republican Jon Husted. Reports note that markets have adjusted to the diminished prospects for the CLARITY Act and that Fairshake plans to expand spending into other races.
