PANews, March 5 — According to CoinDesk, the crypto industry political action committee Fairshake has achieved an initial victory in the first round of the 2026 U.S. Congressional midterm primaries. Several pro-crypto candidates supported by Fairshake won in the primaries held on Tuesday, including Republican Jessica Steinmann, backed by Trump, who won the Republican primary for Texas's 8th district with nearly 70% of the vote, and House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, who received over $400,000 in advertising support and easily won with 77% of the vote. One of Fairshake's key efforts in this primary was to try to eliminate crypto critic, Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green. In the newly redistricted 18th district, Green trailed his blockchain-supporting opponent Christian Menefee in the primary. Since neither candidate received more than half of the votes, they will proceed to a runoff election.
