Woofun AI reports that Protect Progress PAC, an affiliate of Fairshake, has expended over $986,000 to support Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar and oppose challenger Donavan McKinney in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District. The spending occurs two weeks prior to the August 4 primary, following a $1 million investment in 2024 that helped Thanedar secure 54.9% of the primary vote and 68.6% in the general election.

Fairshake-affiliated entities maintain a $191 million war chest to influence elections. Other crypto-linked groups include the Fellowship, backed by Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital, and the Blockchain Leadership Fund, supported by Anchorage and Chainlink Labs. Protect Progress PAC also spent over $100,000 for Arizona’s Greg Stanton, while Defend American Jobs PAC spent $65,000 for Republican Amanda McKinney in Washington.
