Fairshake team describes themselves as an organization committed to supporting candidates determined to make the United States the home for innovators building the next generation of the internet. 
Many in the crypto industry see Fairshake as a critical player on the road to the 2024 US elections, as the crypto industry has faced increased scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators following a series of high-profile collapses over the past eighteen months. 
Fairshake aims to support crypto-friendly candidates from both sides of the US political aisle to combat the industry’s heavy regulatory challenges. On February 13, a political ad tracker revealed that Fairshake spent $3.6 million against crypto-opponent Democrat California Senate candidate Katie Porter, marking its largest expenditure to influence an election to date. 
On February 18, crypto critic Elizabeth Warren stated that the PAC could spend any amount of <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/finance/" data-wpel-link="exclude">money</a> necessary to stop her Senate candidacy. The 2024 US elections will take place in November, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 33 seats in the Senate, and the Presidency up for grabs.
