Republican candidates Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won Florida's special congressional elections with support from crypto political committees.
Patronis and Fine Win in Florida
Fine won 56.7% of the vote in the 6th District, while Patronis defeated his opponent with 57% in the 1st District. Both candidates received significant backing from crypto PACs.
Crypto Industry Support
The special elections in Wisconsin and Florida were critical for achieving the narrow Republican majority needed to advance pro-crypto legislation on stablecoins and market structure. Both campaigns received financial support from political groups like Fairshake.
Judge Crawford's Victory in Wisconsin
Liberal Judge Susan Crawford won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, despite Republican support. At a victory rally, Crawford thanked voters for defending judicial independence.
Patronis and Fine's wins in Florida mark an important step towards strengthening Republican influence in Congress and advancing pro-crypto policies, while Crawford's victory in Wisconsin is a significant achievement for Democrats.
