As part of its coverage of the 2024 US Elections, Cointelegraph asked several congressional candidates for their positions on cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Kari Lake is running to represent the state of Arizona in the United States Senate. A far-right Republican who refused to concede her loss in the state’s 2022 gubernatorial election, Lake will face off against Democrat Ruben Gallego in November.
In August, Lake updated her campaign platform to include “building a robust but open framework to protect the cryptocurrency economy.”
She claimed to be a “pro-crypto candidate” on X, supporting some of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s statements advocating for Bitcoin (BTC) “as a last line of defense against our foreign adversaries.”
