<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="fairshake-s-goals">Fairshake’s goals&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Fairshake supports candidates committed to advancing crypto-friendly legislation and fostering innovation in the U.S. Their recent efforts include <a href="https://crypto.news/winklevoss-twins-give-out-4-9m-to-fairshake-crypto-lobbying-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">backing</a> House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry, Rep. Dusty Johnson, and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), all key figures in promoting crypto legislation​.</p>
<p>The PAC is <a href="https://crypto.news/coinbase-a16z-ripple-pour-millions-into-fairshake-crypto-lobbying-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">backed by</a> major crypto firms <a href="https://crypto.news/coinbase-faces-campaign-finance-violation-allegations-over-25m-super-pac-donation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">like Coinbase</a>, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz. Recently, Fairshake has helped <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/26/crypto-pac-house-senate-elections.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spend</a> over $37 million on primary race ads, contributing to notable victories, including Rep. John Curtis’s win in Utah. The organization continues to influence elections with significant contributions and strategic ad placements.</p>
<p>Fairshake PAC and its affiliates recently won three state primaries after losing in Arizona. They supported Wesley Bell, Bob Onder, and Shri Thanedar in Missouri and Michigan, while Emily Randall led in Washington’s 6th District.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fairshake, along with Defend American Jobs PAC and Protect Progress PAC, <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/07/pro-crypto-super-pacs-pouring-tens-of-millions-into-2024-elections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spent</a> $4 million supporting pro-crypto candidates and opposing anti-crypto incumbents like Cori Bush.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-is-a-pac">What is a PAC?</h2>
<p>A PAC, short for Political Action Committee, is a group that <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-super-pac-fairshake/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/crypto-super-pac-fairshake/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">collects and utilizes</a> funds to support and/or oppose political candidates.</p>
<p>PACs typically follow specific donation restrictions and reporting regulations and operate within strict contribution limits from both individuals and entities. They can also contribute directly to candidates’ campaigns.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the other hand, super PACs have the ability to raise and spend unlimited sums of money but are not allowed to coordinate directly with candidates or political parties.</p>
