Winklevoss PAC Spends $81k Backing Paxton in Texas Senate Race

The Digital Freedom Fund, launched by Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2025, has started spending on the 2026 midterms. FEC filings show more than $81,000 went to Texas mailers supporting Republican Ken Paxton and attacking Democrat James Talarico, with early voting already underway.

Paxton received earlier help too: another crypto-linked PAC spent $500,000 ahead of his May primary win. The same fund has now poured roughly $7 million into Ohio’s race to aid Republican John Husted against Sherrod Brown.

The PAC has raised about $34 million as of September 30. The cash targets candidates seen as friendly to crypto legislation, even as prediction markets on Kalshi and Polymarket lean toward Democrats regaining Senate control in 2027.

Election day is November 3. Republicans view the Texas contest as critical to avoid losing a Senate seat in the state for the first time in over three decades.
