PANews reported on March 22 that according to Politico, a Super PAC funded by the crypto industry is preparing to support two Republican House candidates in Florida's special election on April 1. The network includes Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress. American Jobs will first spend $1.2 million on advertising for Florida Senator Randy Fine, who aims to replace former Representative Michael Waltz, who resigned from the House seat to become national security advisor to former US President Donald Trump. Fine posted on X on January 14, saying: "Floridians want crypto innovation!" He also emphasized the need for "clear regulatory rules". The Super PAC will invest $345,000 to support Jimmy Patronis, who plans to run for the seat of former Representative Matt Gaetz. Patronis previously wrote to the Florida Management Committee requesting research on whether part of the state's pension could be invested in digital assets.
Overall, there are four vacancies in the US House of Representatives, two of which are in Florida. If the Democratic Party wins all four seats, the result would be that Republicans would lead by only one person, a very small margin.
