The campaign encompasses 42 House hopefuls and three Senate contenders, including Jon Husted in Ohio, Ashley Hinson in Iowa, and Chris Pappas in New Hampshire. These endorsements rely on a rigorous vetting process that factors in legislative records, public statements, and responses to the group’s policy questionnaires. By mobilizing a network of 3.1 million advocates across 50 state chapters, the organization aims to influence tight races where digital asset policy could prove decisive.

Advocacy Group Targets Pro-Bitcoin Majority in Midterm Elections
With 45 candidates under its banner, the advocacy group Stand With Crypto is betting that the upcoming November 3 midterms will deliver the most industry-friendly Congress in United States history. Executive director Mason Lynaugh believes this legislative push is the final step in securing long-sought federal market regulations.
This aggressive push follows a major legislative hurdle in September, when the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act. The procedural vote fell short with a 49-50 result, stalling the bill designed to clarify SEC and CFTC oversight of digital commodities. In response, the group has shifted its focus to electing lawmakers committed to reviving the regulatory framework. While the CLARITY Act remains a focal point, the organization is also tracking broader initiatives, such as the American Reserve Modernization Act. That bill, recently cleared by the House Financial Services Committee, proposes a 20-year federal Bitcoin holding period and new reporting requirements, signaling that the battle for crypto-friendly policy is expanding well beyond basic market structure.
