Golden Finance reported that U.S. Republican candidates Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won the Congressional Special Election in Florida on Tuesday night, and the Republican Party was able to maintain its slim majority in the House of Representatives with strong support from the cryptocurrency industry Super Political Action Committee (PAC). Fine beat Democrat Josh Weil with 56.7% of the vote in Florida's Sixth District, while Patronis defeated Gay Valimont with 57% of the vote in Florida's First District. Both campaigns received strong support from “Defend American Jobs,” a Republican-focused cryptocurrency political action committee affiliated with the wider Fairshake political funding network. The media said that these victories once again represent a victory for the interests of the cryptocurrency industry.
