Fourteen US House races had not been called as of November 11, 2026, just over a week after a "blue wave" gave Democrats control of both chambers of Congress. Three of the undecided races feature candidates backed by crypto political action committees, and Stand With Crypto lists every candidate in those contests as either strongly supportive of crypto or holding no stated position.
Rep. Nick Begich leads in Alaska's US House race after Defend American Jobs, Fairshake's Republican-facing affiliate, backed him with $508,142 in the August primary. The same PAC put $150,600 behind Rep. David Rouzer, who leads in North Carolina's 7th District. In Louisiana, state Sen. Blake Miguez will face Democrat Chauna Banks in a December 12 runoff for the 6th District, with $250,000 in backing from The Fellowship PAC.
The Associated Press called South Carolina's 2nd District for incumbent Rep. Joe Wilson on the morning of November 11. Stand With Crypto rates Wilson as "strongly supportive of crypto." His win brought the group's House tally to 246 crypto supporters and 107 opponents, while the Senate stood at 50 supporters and 33 opponents.
Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser told Cointelegraph that the new members without a stance present an opportunity. She said nearly one in four members of the incoming Congress will be new and many have given little thought to blockchain technology. "To us, that represents a blank slate in terms of education," she said.
The group is planning a January fly-in to reach newly elected lawmakers. Fraser said age plays a bigger role than party affiliation in how lawmakers vote on crypto, with members under 55 much more likely to support the industry, and that the incoming class skews younger. She said she wants the industry to enter the 2028 election with two candidates who are thoughtful about the industry, so the sector can avoid living and dying by the outcome of that election.
