Stand With Crypto Launches Midterms Election Program: Unveiling New Online Voter Hub, Spotlighting Initial Slate of Endorsements, Previewing 2026 Battleground Strategy to Mobilize Voters in Support of Pro-Crypto Candidates

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Stand With Crypto, America’s leading crypto advocacy organization, launched its 2026 midterm election program — unveiling a new online voter hub, releasing its first slate of endorsed candidates for this cycle, and previewing a targeted battleground strategy aimed at mobilizing voters in support of pro-crypto congressional candidates who will shape the future of digital assets innovation. 

Stand With Crypto also released new polling revealing crypto voters are more motivated to vote in the upcoming elections than the average voter; poised to turn out at high rates in 2026; and increasingly representing a major swing voter bloc (polling details included further below). 

“This year crypto voters are poised to play a powerful and decisive role at the ballot box — our goal is to equip our more than 2.7 million advocates across the country with the tools they need to make informed choices this November,” said Mason Lynaugh, Executive Director of Stand With Crypto. “We’ve created our voter hub with the express purpose of helping voters wield their power as a potentially-decisive voting bloc in races up and down the ballot. The races we’re prioritizing for investment this cycle will focus our efforts on ensuring the 120th Congress is the most pro-crypto session in America’s history. We’re proud to announce our support for a group of candidates who have already proven their commitment to championing clear, common-sense regulations that unlock crypto’s innovation potential.”

New Voter Hub Spotlights Battleground Races, Endorsed Candidates

Stand With Crypto’s new voter hub is a comprehensive platform designed to educate and activate crypto voters – and all voters nationwide – by providing information for candidates in every congressional race in the 2026 midterms. The hub will provide up-to-date information on congressional candidates’ crypto stances, including dynamic scorecards that assign each candidate a favorability rating based on their public statements, legislative history, and responses to the Stand With Crypto Candidate Questionnaire. 

The online hub also spotlights Stand With Crypto’s newly announced 2026 battleground races — eight highly competitive House contests where crypto voters represent a meaningful and potentially decisive share of the electorate. These districts span both parties and include incumbents with established records on digital asset policy, as well as large concentrations of Stand With Crypto advocates in races historically decided by narrow margins. Within these battlegrounds, Stand With Crypto announced its first slate of candidate endorsements — highlighting leaders who have demonstrated clear support for crypto innovation and policy. The list of endorsed candidates includes:

• U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (R), IA-03
• U.S. Representative Susie Lee (D), NV-03 
• U.S. Representative Mike Lawler (R), NY-17
• U.S. Representative Don Davis (D), NC-01
• U.S. Representative Greg Landsman (D), OH-01
• U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan (R), PA-08

Stand With Crypto will also prioritize races in Ohio’s Ninth Congressional District and Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, where incumbents – both Democrat and Republican – have concerning records on crypto policy. While the group’s state and college chapters will have a presence in every state and every congressional race, this approach ensures Stand With Crypto advocates play a key role in the most impactful races for shaping a pro-crypto Congress. 

Beyond these eight races, Stand With Crypto will announce additional House races for engagement in the coming weeks and will endorse additional slates of candidates throughout this cycle.

To drive impact in these battleground races, Stand With Crypto will deploy an aggressive, get-out-the-vote effort anchored by its 2.7 million advocates. Stand With Crypto will invest in a multi-channel strategy that includes paid media campaigns across digital and direct mail, targeted SMS outreach, and robust digital organizing through email and social platforms. These efforts will be reinforced by on-the-ground activations via state and college chapters, all aimed at turning crypto voters into a decisive force at the ballot box in support of endorsed candidates.

New Polling Reveals Impact Crypto Voters are Poised to Have in November

Stand With Crypto’s electoral program launch comes as findings from a recent survey of 1,000 crypto owners and Stand With Crypto advocates in battleground states, assessing their attitudes toward digital asset policy and how candidates’ cryptocurrency stances affected their vote choice. The full poll release can be found here. Key findings include: 

• Crypto voters are a potential major swing voting bloc in the upcoming midterm elections: A majority (59%) of crypto owners and 77% of Stand With Crypto advocates are heterogeneous voters who don’t always vote for one party, and in the U.S. Senate elections in their respective states, nearly a third are persuadable.
• Crypto owners are more motivated to vote in the upcoming elections than the average voter and are poised to turn out at high rates in 2026: Nearly 80% of crypto owners describe themselves as “almost certain” to vote, and more than 75% of crypto owners describe themselves as enthusiastic to vote in the 2026 general election. This is head and shoulders above nationwide adults. 
• Crypto policy stances could decide votes in key races: A majority (64%) of crypto owners are enthusiastic about voting for candidates who support the cryptocurrency industry, and nearly half (47%) say they could support a candidate who agrees with them on cryptocurrency issues, even if they disagree on other issues. Most importantly, as market structure legislation continues to be negotiated in Congress, 74% of crypto owners say they would be more likely to support a candidate who supports making clearer regulations for cryptocurrency, with nearly a third (31%) who say they would be much more likely to support such a candidate.

Over the past two years, Stand With Crypto has built a community-led movement to mobilize and harness the voice of America’s 52 million crypto owners into a powerful and unified voting bloc, championing clear, common-sense regulations for the crypto industry and unlocking crypto’s innovation potential while fostering greater economic opportunity and freedom.
