Crypto PAC 在佛羅裡達州特別選舉中向川普支持的候選人押注 70 萬美元

加密貨幣超級 PAC Fairshake 透過其附屬 PAC Defend American Jobs 已開始在特別選舉中花費數十萬美元購買支持加密貨幣的名字

Crypto's leading political action committee has disclosed its picks in the Florida congressional races for the seats vacated by President-elect Donald Trump's close ally, Matt Gaetz, and the politician Trump tapped as a national security adviser, Michael Waltz.

Crypto 的主要政治行動委員會披露了其在佛羅裡達州國會競選中的人選，以爭奪候任總統唐納德·特朗普的親密盟友馬特·蓋茨和特朗普任命為國家安全顧問的政治家邁克爾·沃爾茲空出的席位。

The two Florida Republicans' replacements are crucial to the party's political agenda in Congress, given the razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives. Crypto super PAC Fairshake — via its affiliated PAC, Defend American Jobs — has started pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into pro-crypto candidates in the special elections to fill the seats.

鑑於眾議院在眾議院的席位微弱，兩位佛羅裡達州共和黨人的繼任者對該黨在國會的政治議程至關重要。加密貨幣超級政治行動委員會 Fairshake 透過其附屬的 PAC 捍衛美國就業組織 (Defend American Jobs) 已開始在特別選舉中向支持加密貨幣的候選人注入數十萬美元，以填補席位。

Gaetz was briefly President-elect Donald Trump's pick for U.S. attorney general — the nation's top law enforcement official — but he withdrew from consideration and resigned from Congress amid mounting pressure from a House ethics investigation into his alleged payments for drugs and sex (including a report of sexual activity with a 17-year-old).

蓋茲曾短暫被候任總統唐納德·川普提名為美國最高執法官員——美國司法部長，但由於眾議院對其涉嫌支付毒品和性行為的道德調查（包括一份報告），他退出了考慮，並從國會辭職。

Trump went on to back the state's chief financial officer, Jimmy Patronis, as his preferred candidate to fill the resulting vacancy in the House of Representatives. Patronis, who is leading a crowded field of GOP rivals in the Jan. 28 primary, is set to benefit from around $200,000 in ad spending by Fairshake, the group said.

川普隨後支持該州首席財務官吉米·帕特羅尼斯(Jimmy Patronis)，作為他的首選候選人來填補眾議院由此產生的空缺。該組織表示，帕特羅尼斯在 1 月 28 日的初選中領先眾多共和黨競爭對手，他將從 Fairshake 約 20 萬美元的廣告支出中受益。

In October, Patronis pushed for some state pension funds to be allocated to crypto investments.

10 月，Patronis 推動將一些國家退休基金分配給加密貨幣投資。

The PAC has also pledged around $500,000 to help state Sen. Randy Fine fill Representative Waltz's vacancy. Trump also endorsed Fine in a move that reportedly scared off several potential competitors.

PAC 還承諾提供約 50 萬美元幫助州參議員 Randy Fine 填補眾議員 Waltz 的空缺。川普也支持費恩，據報此舉嚇跑了幾個潛在的競爭對手。

The candidate posted on social media site X this week that "Floridians want crypto innovation!"

這位候選人本週在社交媒體網站 X 上發布“佛羅裡達人想要加密創新！”

Super PACs are permitted to purchase advertisements for or against candidates, provided that they constitute "independent expenditures" that are not authorized or coordinated by the candidates. Fairshake spent $139 million to help get 53 allies into the new session of Congress, meaning one in ten sitting lawmakers benefited from crypto-funded ads.

超級政治行動委員會可以為候選人購買廣告或針對候選人的廣告，前提是這些廣告構成未經候選人授權或協調的「獨立支出」。 Fairshake 花費了 1.39 億美元幫助 53 個盟友進入新國會，這意味著十分之一的現任立法者從加密貨幣資助的廣告中受益。

"We are continuing to press forward," Fairshake spokesman Josh Vlasto said on Friday.

Fairshake 發言人 Josh Vlasto 週五表示：“我們將繼續推進。”

The PAC still has a massive $103 million on hand for the next congressional election cycle, putting it in a strong position for the 2026 races.

PAC 仍有 1.03 億美元的巨額資金用於下一個國會選舉週期，這使其在 2026 年的競選中處於有利地位。
