French Hill Re-elected as Crypto Ally, Faces House Chair Exit
Arkansas Congressman French Hill, a prominent Republican ally of the cryptocurrency industry, has won reelection in the state’s 2nd Congressional District, but his path in Congress may narrow after Democrats took control of the House. According to the Associated Press, Hill defeated Democratic challenger Chris Jones, with the race called Thursday. Hill is known on Capitol Hill for sponsoring the CLARITY Act and voting for the GENIUS Act—positions that have helped him earn a strong reputation among crypto advocates. Stand With Crypto, a crypto-focused advocacy group, rates Hill at “A,” describing him as strongly supportive of cryptocurrency.
