Overview
- Protect Progress, affiliated with Fairshake, will fund $1.5 million in ads opposing Green ahead of the March 3 Democratic primary, with initial spots avoiding crypto-specific messaging.
- Green, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, voted against the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act and holds an F grade from Stand With Crypto.
- Challenger Christian Menefee, newly seated after a special election in the redrawn district, carries an A rating from Stand With Crypto and backs blockchain uses in government.
- Fairshake is deploying a $193 million midterm war chest, also committing $5 million to boost Alabama Rep. Barry Moore in a Senate primary and supporting Chairman French Hill.
- The super PAC is making independent expenditures that cannot coordinate with campaigns, and Green’s fundraising of more than $700,000 lags the planned opposition spend.
