Crypto Super-PAC-Backed GOP House Candidate Blake Masters Loses Arizona Primary

Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for Arizona's 8th Congressional District who was backed by the crypto super-PAC Fairshake affiliate Defend American Jobs, has lost his primary race, according to Cointelegraph. Defend American Jobs reportedly spent about $600,000 on media advertising supporting Masters. Abraham Hamadeh won the Republican nomination for the House seat in the primary with 29.8% of the vote. Fairshake and its affiliates have reportedly backed three House candidates, including Masters.
