Crypto-funded super PAC spends $11.4 million to help Husted defeat Brown in Ohio

Defend American Jobs, a super PAC funded by cryptocurrency companies and investors, is spending $11.4 million on ads, according to campaign finance disclosures. The ads aim to help Sen. Jon Husted, an Ohio Republican, defeat Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat. Super PAC spokesman Geoff Vetter said the group plans to spend $30 million in the race. The cryptocurrency industry spent heavily to defeat Brown in 2024 and is spending millions more to prevent Brown from returning to the Senate this year.
