**Ripple Makes Waves in Politics 🌊**

- Ripple has splashed $1 million into the Commonwealth Unity Fund to back John Deaton in the Massachusetts Republican senatorial primary.

- Deaton, known for his legal support of Ripple Labs, is challenging crypto-skeptic Senator Elizabeth Warren.

- The PAC, founded by lawyer James Murphy, has also received $50,000 from Murphy and spent $30,000 opposing Warren.

- Despite raising $1.7M from crypto heavyweights like the Winklevoss twins and Ripple's CEO, Deaton trails Warren's $18M war chest.

- Not all crypto PACs back Deaton; some support rival candidates.
