“For too long, D.C. has created barriers for startups and emerging companies. It’s time to level the playing field and ensure that Little Tech – the next generation of builders – gets a fair shot. As a policy maker, I promoted solutions that removed bureaucratic barriers for American entrepreneurs. At [a16z] I am eager to continue that work and ensure policymakers understand why innovation needs room to thrive,” McHenry wrote.

“長期以來，DC為初創公司和新興公司創造了障礙。現在是時候闡明比賽環境並確保Little Tech（下一代建築商）獲得了公平的射擊。作為一名政策制定者，我提出了解決美國企業家官僚障礙的解決方案。在[A16Z]，我渴望繼續這項工作，並確保決策者了解創新需要繁榮的空間，” McHenry寫道。

McHenry spent the last few years of his 20-year career in Congress advocating for the crypto industry and building a foundation for a long-awaited crypto regulatory framework. He co-sponsored the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) — a market structure bill that, if passed, would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) more power to oversee the crypto industry. He also worked with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on bipartisan stablecoin legislation.
