Crypto critic Brad Sherman advances to general election; whether crypto PACs will intervene becomes a focal point

According to reporter Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett), cryptocurrency critic and U.S. Representative Brad Sherman has advanced smoothly to the general election for California’s 32nd congressional district and will face pro-crypto Republican candidate Larry Thompson again in November. Thompson eliminated Democratic challenger Jake Levine in the primary, but he lost to Sherman by over 32 points in 2024. Given Sherman’s overwhelming advantage in this deeply blue district, attention is turning to whether the cryptocurrency political action committee (Crypto PAC) will be willing to invest funds to oppose Sherman.
