Crypto-linked political action committees (PACs) affiliated with Fairshake reported spending $7.2 million across five U.S. congressional races, according to Federal Election Commission filings released this week.

Of that total, the Protect Progress PAC accounted for roughly $1.6 million, backing Democratic candidates Jasmine Clark in Georgia’s 13th District and Christian Menefee in Texas’s 18th ahead of upcoming primary and runoff contests.
