Uncalled US House Races Could Add More Crypto Allies to Congress

crypto allies to Congress — Several uncalled US House races from the 2026 midterm elections could further increase the number of crypto-supportive lawmakers in Congress, according to advocacy groups.

Fourteen House races remain unresolved over a week after Democrats secured control of both chambers. Crypto political action committees backed three candidates in these outstanding contests. Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group, rates every candidate in these races as either strongly pro-crypto or as having no stated position on the issue.

“The new members that have no stance present an opportunity,” Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser told Cointelegraph. She noted that nearly one in four members of the incoming Congress will be new, representing a “blank slate in terms of education” for the industry.

The Blockchain Association is planning a January fly-in to engage newly elected lawmakers. Fraser emphasized that age, rather than party affiliation, is a significant predictor of crypto support, with members under 55 more likely to back the industry. The group aims to build a supportive congressional base ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
