Crypto PACs spent $9 million in the Texas primaries, backing winning candidates from both parties, per CoinDesk. It included heavy support (~$5.7–6.5M) for Democrat Christian Menefee, who defeated vocal crypto critic Rep. Al Green, who voted against final passage of the CLARITY Act in the House in 2025. This mirrors the successful playbook from the 2024 election cycle that helped deliver a strongly pro-crypto Congress and White House. If this scales nationally, it could significantly boost the chances of passing key bills like the CLARITY Act and secure long-term regulatory protections for the industry.
