Crypto Super PAC Fairshake Puts $5 Million Behind Barry Moore in Alabama Senate Primary

The move underscores a strategy to seat allies who will advance pro-crypto market-structure bills.

Overview

  • Defend American Jobs, a Fairshake affiliate, committed the $5 million as independent expenditures, with planned broadcast ads featuring President Trump's endorsement.
  • The buy represents one of Fairshake's first major midterm forays as the PAC deploys its roughly $193 million war chest.
  • Moore, a five-year House member on the Agriculture Committee, is seeking the seat opening as Senator Tommy Tuberville runs for governor.
  • Early polling places Moore generally behind Attorney General Steve Marshall, and both candidates carry 'A' ratings from Stand With Crypto.
  • Fairshake characterizes the spending as part of electing pro-crypto lawmakers, following earlier support for Rep. French Hill after House passage of a market-structure bill last year.
