Republican success in elections in Florida: Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine win

Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine achieved significant success in the recent congress elections in Florida and expanded the close majority of the Republican Party (GOP) in the House of Representatives. Both candidates received strong support from crypto policy action committees (PACS), which act as part of a larger political financing network.

Randy Fine won with 56.7 % of the votes against the Democrat Josh Weil in the 6th district of Florida, while Patronis defeated his opponent Gay Valimont with 57 % in the 1st district. These victories were crucial to secure a closer republican majority that is necessary to drive pro-crypto legislation, in particular with regard to stable coins and the market structure for cryptocurrencies.

Both campaigns benefited significantly from financial support from the Defend American Jobs Pac and other members of the Fairshak network. In January alone, Fairshake collected more than $ 116 million to support the intermediate elections in 2026 and donated around $ 133 million for the 2024 elections. This financial support proved to be crucial for the success of the GOP candidates in recent months.

After the victories in Florida and Wisconsin, the Defend American Jobs Pac expressed that Patronis and Fine had shown a strong obligation to promote guidelines that support the cryptocurrency industry. Their success was praised as a positive step for American jobs, innovations and the global leadership role of the United States in the field of digital assets.

It is worth noting that the victory marg from Fine, which was 14 points, is significantly lower than the 30-point lead, which President Trump had in the same district in the elections last November. This difference could be due to the different amounts of campaign agents-Fine received about $ 1 million, while Weil spent around $ 10 million.

Before the elections, Fairshake was able to win the support of well-known companies and personalities, including blockchain payment providers Ripple, the stock exchange operator Coinbase and the famous Tech investor Andreessen Horowitz, as well as the Gemini co-founder Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

Susan Crawford wins in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin

On April 1, important elections took place in Wisconsin, in which the liberal voters experienced a surprise: judge Susan Crawford won the race for a place in the state's highest court. This victory was particularly remarkable because Wisconsin is a historic battlefield in elections.

Crawford thanked her followers at an event in Madison Victory and emphasized that her voices had sent an important message to the nation. She pointed out that the voters successfully had an attack on the independence of the Supreme Court, democracy and the integrity of the elections.

Although she did not directly mention Elon Musk's name, she spoke about the pressure she had to overcome during the election campaign. In addition, she praised her conservative challenger Brad Schimel, wished him and his family all the best and moved parallels to a quote from Thurgood Marshall, which in her opinion was suitable for the present moment.
