Analysis

Fairshake and affiliates spent $10.5 million on the Democratic primary runoff for Texas's 18th district, allocating $6.5 million to back freshman Rep. Christian Menefee and $4 million to oppose 20-year incumbent Rep. Al Green. Green earned an F rating from Stand With Crypto after voting against the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act cryptocurrency legislation. Fairshake's statement called the outcome proof that anti-crypto positions carry electoral costs, marking the first Democratic incumbent defeat this cycle.
