The Texas Blockchain Council (TBC) has announced its support for incumbent Senator Ted Cruz’s re-election bid to the US Senate. TBC President Lee Bratcher said Cruz emphasized Bitcoin as a tool for freedom and mining as a tool for grid stability during a speech he gave at a Core Scientific mining facility in Denton, Texas. “Crypto is the future,” Cruz said.
Cruz has served in the US Senate since 2013 and has spoken at TBC events about Bitcoin mining and its impact on the energy grid. Coinbase’s Stand With Crypto initiative rated Cruz as a senator who has “strong” support for crypto.
Cruz will be running against Democrat Colin Allred, Libertarian Ted Brown, and Democratic write-in candidate Tracy Andrus in November. According to an ActiVote poll, Cruz has an eight-point lead over Allred.
Texas is home to many crypto mining companies as one of the largest state economies in the US. In February, TBC lawyers opposed the federal government’s demands to collect data from miners.
