The Blockchain Leadership Fund, a political action committee backed by Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital, [released its first batch of endorsements](https://www.blockchainleadershipfund.com/news/blockchain-leadership-fund-launches-to-advance-us-leadership-in-digital-assetsnbsp-par57) today, backing ten candidates across *both* parties amidst the U.S. midterm elections.

### **What's the Scoop?**
- **The PAC:** Started in March, the Blockchain Leadership Fund was formed to back candidates working to advance digital asset and blockchain policy. Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital are its primary backers.
- **The Endorsements:** BLF is backing four Senate candidates: Barry Moore (R-AL), Kurt Alme (R-MT), Jon Husted (R-OH), and Angie Craig (D-MN). On the House side, the PAC is endorsing Houston Gaines (R-GA), Jim Kingston (R-GA), Jon Bonck (R-TX), Adrian Boafo (D-MD), Christian Menefee (D-TX), and Don Davis (D-NC).
- **Bipartisan Importance of the Craig Pick:** Craig is cited to be the most important nomination, given she is a Ranking Member on the House Agriculture Committee, one of the primary committees for crypto market-structure legislation, and co-introduced the bipartisan CLARITY Act. She is now running for a Minnesota Senate seat, where a pro-crypto *Democrat* carries more leverage than another Republican ally. Polymarket gives her a 16% chance of winning the Democratic primary.
