Crypto super PAC Fairshake plans $30 million in advertising against Ohio Senate candidate Sherrod Brown after Senate Democrats blocked the Clarity Act. Brown has softened his public criticism of crypto, while his Republican opponent, Jon Husted, already has a substantial advertising advantage.
Outlets agree Fairshake, a crypto-funded super PAC, plans to spend $30 million opposing Sherrod Brown’s Ohio Senate bid after crypto legislation failed in the Senate.
Left-leaning outlets frame the spending as punishment for opposition to the industry, while also noting Brown may withstand it. Center outlets link the spending to the bill’s failure and emphasize its potential effect on a competitive Senate race.
