Stand With Crypto Marks Two Midterm Targets
Coinbase-backed advocates say they will contest House races across six states, with Ohio and Pennsylvania at the center of a 2026 turnout push built around crypto policy.
Stand With Crypto has started naming the House races it thinks can be moved by crypto voters in 2026. Cointelegraph reports that the Coinbase-backed advocacy group on Thursday said it would work contests in Iowa, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, with Ohio's 9th Congressional District and Pennsylvania's 10th as its top priorities.
The group said those two districts stood out because incumbent lawmakers Marcy Kaptur and Scott Perry had voting records it sees as hostile to crypto policy. Perry voted against the GENIUS Act in 2025, while Kaptur voted against the payment stablecoins bill and the CLARITY market structure bill. Stand With Crypto said its campaign will lean on paid digital media, direct mail, SMS outreach, email, social organizing, and field work aimed at turning supporters out.
