Internet reported that U.S. Republican candidates Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won the special congressional election in Florida on Tuesday night. With strong support from the cryptocurrency industry super political action committee (PAC), the Republican Party was able to maintain its slim majority in the House. Fine defeated Democrat Josh Weil with 56.7 percent of the vote in Florida's Sixth District, while Patronis defeated Gay Valimont with 57 percent 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 broader Fairshake political funding network. The media said that these victories once again represented a victory for the interests of the cryptocurrency industry.
