Uncalled US House Races Could Add More Crypto Allies to Congress
Fourteen undecided House contests feature pro‑crypto candidates or those with no stated stance, offering advocacy groups new outreach opportunities.
The United States House still has 14 races that remain uncalled a week after Democrats secured control of both chambers. In these contests, three candidates have received direct backing from crypto political action committees, according to Stand With Crypto. The organization rates every candidate in the undecided races as either strongly pro‑crypto or without a public position, creating what it calls “an opportunity” for outreach.
