Uncalled US House Races Could Expand Crypto Majority to 249 Seats

Fourteen US House races remain uncalled following the midterm elections, offering digital asset advocates an opening to expand an already sizeable bipartisan majority in Congress ¹. Three contenders in those unresolved contests received financial backing from crypto political action committees, while advocacy group Stand With Crypto reported that every remaining candidate is either strongly pro-crypto or neutral ¹.

Among the unresolved contests, incumbent Representative Nick Begich holds a lead in Alaska's at-large congressional district ¹. Defend American Jobs, an affiliate of the Fairshake network, contributed $508,142 to Begich's campaign during his August primary ¹. In North Carolina's 7th District, incumbent Representative David Rouzer leads after receiving $150,600 from the same PAC ¹. Meanwhile, in Louisiana's 6th District, state Senator Blake Miguez—backed by $250,000 from The Fellowship PAC—will contest a Dec. 12 runoff against Democrat Chauna Banks ¹.

Education Focus for the 120th Congress

The Associated Press called South Carolina's 2nd District for incumbent Representative Joe Wilson on the morning of Nov. 11 ¹. Wilson's victory elevated Stand With Crypto's House count to 246 supportive lawmakers against 107 opponents, alongside 50 supporters and 33 opponents in the Senate ¹. The figures follow a campaign cycle where crypto PACs spent heavily across congressional districts, even as Democrats secured a Senate majority ¹.

With incoming lawmakers preparing to take office, trade associations are shifting their strategy from campaign expenditure to legislative education ¹. Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser noted that nearly one-quarter of the incoming Congress will consist of first-term members, many without established positions on digital assets ¹. Fraser stated that age remains a stronger predictor of digital asset support than party affiliation, with members under 55 demonstrating significantly higher rates of backing ¹. The trade group is organizing a January fly-in to brief newly elected officials ahead of the legislative session ¹. At the time of writing, $BTC was trading at $74,348.
