Crypto-backed political action committee (PAC), Fairshake, has spent over $2 million opposing Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman's reelection in New York’s 16th Congressional District. The PAC, supported by Ripple and Coinbase, has not specifically mentioned crypto or blockchain in its attack ads. Instead, it accuses Bowman of promoting "dangerous conspiracy theories". Bowman has previously voted against crypto-friendly legislation. Fairshake's campaign may already be influencing US elections, with California Representative Katie Porter losing a primary race after being targeted by the PAC.
