Associated Press election results show Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga won his Michigan primary, while Washington incumbents Suzan DelBene, Kim Schrier and Marilyn Strickland advanced alongside Republican Amanda McKinney. The outcomes gave crypto-aligned candidates a bipartisan set of primary victories across two states in the August 4 contests.
The five candidates benefited from more than $1.3 million in combined spending by affiliates of Fairshake, the crypto-focused political action committee network. Huizenga and McKinney received support from Defend American Jobs, while Protect Progress backed the three Washington Democrats, placing industry money behind candidates from both major parties rather than concentrating on one political bloc.
The victories move the candidates into the November general election, where campaign funding will face a broader electorate and district-level competition. The next test is whether primary spending converts into durable congressional influence as the crypto industry seeks lawmakers receptive to digital-asset market structure, stablecoin policy and regulatory clarity.
