PANews September 22, according to Coindesk, the crypto super political action committee (Super PAC) Fairshake has pledged $30 million to defeat former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in his bid to return to the Ohio state senate. This is the largest expenditure to date by the Super PAC targeting a single candidate in the 2026 midterm elections. Two years ago, Fairshake invested about $40 million to help defeat Brown and cost him his Senate seat, paving the way for pro-crypto Republican Bernie Moreno to take over. At that time, Brown served as chair of the Senate Banking Committee and was long seen as the main obstacle to crypto legislation. Geoff Vetter, a spokesperson for Fairshake, said the organization still has more than $90 million available to support the final phase of the election. Current Ohio polls show Brown leading the incumbent Republican senator Jon Husted slightly, 48% to 45%.
