Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton has announced his candidacy for the Massachusetts Senate race against incumbent Senator Elizabeth Warren. With a significant investment of $500,000 of his own funds, Deaton aims to challenge Warren, who has held the seat for 11 years.
Deaton has called on his crypto-friendly social media following, comprising 324,100 followers, to financially support his campaign. While he has contributed half of the campaign funds himself, he seeks to raise an additional $500,000 from supporters, accepting donations in both cash and cryptocurrency.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson publicly announced his donation to Deaton’s campaign, emphasizing the importance of challenging establishment figures who could potentially harm the cryptocurrency industry.
Deaton’s campaign is centered on challenging the Washington elites and advocating for change in Massachusetts. While he avoids directly discussing cryptocurrency in his campaign, tensions between Deaton and government officials critical of crypto, such as Senator Warren, are apparent.
Senator Warren has previously criticized the cryptocurrency industry, alleging a revolving door between crypto insiders and Washington officials. This tension underscores Deaton’s commitment to challenging establishment figures and advocating for the interests of the crypto community.
