- Pro-cryptocurrency lawyer John Deaton is getting a major boost in his Senatorial campaign against crypto public enemy number one, Elizabeth Warren.
- Crypto executives from Ripple, Cardano, Kraken, and Gemini emerged as the top contributors to his campaign.
John Deaton has had enough of Senator Elizabeth Warren’s continuous tirade and disinformation against the cryptocurrency industry as well as her incapability to address the plight of her constituents. The US Marine veteran, lawyer, and author has finally held true to his promise that he will unseat the seasoned politician from Massachusetts.
Now, both Warren and Deaton may finally get their respective receipts from the crypto community. One is about to bear the brunt of the consequences of her actions while another will reap what he sowed in his advocacy.
Titans in the industry have banded together to get back at Warren for her antagonistic stance toward any legislation or issue that could have brought about progress and regulatory clarity to the digital asset market. Heavily benefiting from their crusade is Deaton who also shared their sentiments.
The top backers of the popular crypto lawyer from Massachusetts include Ripple’s co-founder Chris Larsen and CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Joining them are Gemini’s Winklevoss twins, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell, and SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci.
Deaton’s filing with the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) revealed he collected around $360,700 for the first quarter of 2024 from his donors. He likewise acquired a $1 million loan to fund his Senatorial bid under the Republican slate.
Campaign of John Deaton
The campaign slogan of Deaton demonstrates his capability to endure and fight against the odds in times of adversity. It serves as a callback not only to his service to the US when he became a member of the Armed Forces but also to his capacity to overcome cancer and continuous fight to defend the rule of law in his role as a trial attorney.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to fight for change, and for the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate,” said Deaton on the official website of his campaign. “Growing up in one of the worst neighborhoods in America, before eventually becoming a U.S. Marine, successful attorney, and father of three wonderful daughters, I am the grateful embodiment of the American Dream – a dream that is becoming unattainable for far too many.”
Deaton’s campaign further highlighted the broken system that Warren has failed or ignored to fix since she attained her seat in 2013.
“Washington, D.C. is broken, and in more than a decade in office, Elizabeth Warren has done nothing to fix it—in fact, she’s become a big part of the problem.”
