Stand With Crypto Announces New Bipartisan Endorsements as Crypto Voters Prepare for Midterm Elections
Newest slate of Stand With Crypto endorsements signals increased investment in priority House races.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Stand With Crypto, America's leading crypto grassroots advocacy organization, announced it is endorsing seven candidates in congressional races — including the group’s first round of Senate endorsements for the 2026 cycle.
The Senate’s recent CLARITY Act cloture vote showed that electing new pro-crypto voices to the upper chamber must be a priority for the crypto community. Stand with Crypto’s endorsements include pro-crypto candidates running for open seats as well as an incumbent fighting off a challenger who has been hostile to modernizing digital asset policy.
Stand With Crypto is also rounding out its House of Representatives endorsements, including its first non-incumbent candidates. The full slate of House endorsements can be found on Stand With Crypto’s Voter Hub and comprises proven crypto champions in addition to pro-crypto candidates in competitive races where crypto voters are poised to make a meaningful difference in the 2026 midterms.
“Following the Senate’s recent failure to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, Stand With Crypto’s more than three million advocates are shifting their energy and focus fully to ensuring we have pro-crypto champions in office who will carry forward our fight for clear rules of the road,” said Mason Lynaugh, executive director of Stand With Crypto. “Ahead of Election Day, Stand With Crypto is ensuring that Crypto Voters — a highly motivated, heterogenous block of voters committed to the advancement of policies like market structure — have the tools they need to make informed decisions at the polls.”
Stand With Crypto's three current Senate endorsements are:
- U.S. Senator Jon Husted (R-OH)
- Ashley Hinson, Republican Senate Candidate in Iowa
- Chris Pappas, Democratic Senate Candidate in New Hampshire
Stand With Crypto’s four additional House endorsements are:
- U.S. Representative Shomari Figures (D-AL-02)
- U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA-01)
- Derek Merrin, Republican Candidate in OH-09
- Janelle Stelson, Democratic Candidate in PA-10
Stand With Crypto has also committed additional advertising resources in six House races that will be especially influential in determining how pro- or anti-crypto the 120th Congress will be. These races are:
- U.S. Representative Don Davis (D-NC-01)
- U.S. Representative Susie Lee (D-NV-03)
- U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (R-IA-03)
- U.S. Representative Bryan Steil (R-WI-01)
- Derek Merrin, Republican Candidate in OH-09
- Janelle Stelson, Democratic Candidate in PA-10
Stand With Crypto previously announced endorsements in 38 U.S. House of Representatives races. In these races, Stand With Crypto is investing in an organic and paid mobilization program ahead of Election Day to capture this energy. Endorsed candidates are highlighted on Stand With Crypto’s Voter Hub, a comprehensive educational resource that allows every voter to understand where their candidates stand on digital asset policy, and gives them the tools they need to make a plan to vote. Candidates are graded based on their public statements, legislative history, and responses to the Stand With Crypto Candidate Questionnaire.
