**Crypto PAC Backs Ansari in Tight Arizona Primary Win**
Yassamin Ansari, a Democrat, narrowly won the recount for Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District, edging out Raquel Terán by just 39 votes. The recount, mandated by state law due to the slim margin, confirmed Ansari's victory with 19,087 votes to Terán's 19,048.
Key Points:
- Ansari will face Republican Jeff Zink in November.
- The Protect Progress Super PAC, linked to Fairshake and Defend American Jobs, spent over $1.3 million supporting Ansari.
- The PAC's involvement has sparked debate, with some accusing it of trying to "buy a seat in Congress."
Looking ahead, Fairshake is shifting focus to the general election, committing $12 million to support Republican Bernie Moreno in Ohio’s Senate race against Democrat Sherrod Brown, a vocal crypto critic. The 2024 election season sees major party candidates increasingly taking positions on cryptocurrency issues.
