Stand With Crypto (SWC), a crypto industry advocacy group, classified 222 House election winners and 19 Senate winners as supportive of the industry in figures published November 4. The tally offers an early read on candidates’ positions, but it does not establish a congressional voting bloc for any specific crypto bill or indicate when legislation might pass.
SWC’s election tally remains unofficial
SWC’s results page also listed 106 House winners and eight Senate winners as opposed to the crypto industry. The page was last updated at 9 a.m. ET on November 4, when results had been determined in 384 of the 435 House races and 33 of the 35 Senate races.
SWC said its figures use election results from Decision Desk HQ and remain unofficial until formally certified. The number of winners rated supportive or opposed fell short of the total seats with results called at the time. The group also did not break down the ratings by party in its summary. The figures are therefore SWC’s candidate ratings, not a complete classification of congressional seats or potential legislative votes.
Candidate ratings do not establish support for CLARITY
In social media posts congratulating election winners, SWC highlighted several candidates connected to crypto legislation. The group said Mark Messmer, the winner in Indiana’s 8th District, and Riley Moore, the winner in West Virginia’s 2nd District, were co-sponsors of the CLARITY Act. Historical House roll-call records show that both voted for the bill on July 17, 2025.
SWC also said Eugene Vindman, winner in Virginia’s 7th District, had supported the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act. Vindman likewise voted for CLARITY in the July 2025 House vote. For Janelle Stelson, winner in Pennsylvania’s 10th District, SWC said she had expressed support for both bills. These examples provide some context for the group’s ratings, but do not establish how every candidate it rated would vote.
The House passed the CLARITY Act in 2025 by 294 votes to 134, with 216 Republicans and 78 Democrats voting in favor. That result showed cross-party support in the House at the time. But the earlier vote and the 2026 election tally concern different events; the two sets of figures should not be treated as commitments by the same lawmakers.
Banking and consumer protection remain unresolved
The CLARITY Act still faces substantive policy disagreements, including over banking risks, stablecoin rewards and consumer protections. The bill previously encountered a procedural obstacle in the Senate. SWC’s election ratings do not indicate whether those disputes have been resolved or how many members of the incoming Congress support a particular version of the legislation.
The tally of 222 House and 19 Senate winners reflects an advocacy group’s assessment of candidates’ crypto positions—not the votes needed to pass the bill or a legislative timetable. Formal certification of election results, lawmakers’ positions on the final text, and negotiations over banking and consumer protection provisions remain separate factors in assessing the bill’s progress.
