TX-18: Pro-crypto super PAC plans to spend $1.5M opposing Al Green

A pro-crypto super PAC said Thursday that it plans to spend $1.5 million opposing Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) in the Democratic primary race.

Protect Progress, which is affiliated with the industry’s leading super PAC Fairshake, pointed to Green’s voting record on crypto legislation.

The Texas Democrat has voted against two major crypto bills in the House this Congress. He opposed the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin framework signed into law by President Trump last year, as well as the Clarity Act, which seeks to split oversight of the broader crypto market between two financial regulators.

“As a member of the Financial Services Committee, Representative Al Green has decided to try and stop American innovation in its tracks,” Protect Progress said in a statement.
