The Commonwealth Unity Fund has disseminated more than $1 million in Massachusetts to support Republican John Deaton’s bid for the US Senate.
A political action committee (PAC) that accepted donations from crypto industry players, including Ripple, has spent $850,000 to support Republican John Deaton in a Massachusetts primary.
According to records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Commonwealth Unity Fund Super PAC reported disseminating roughly $450,000 in a direct mail buy to support Deaton on Aug. 7 and more than $500,000 in a media buy on Aug. 6. The purchases followed the Super PAC spending more than $300,000 on a media placement in July.
Deaton, one of three Republicans running to represent Massachusetts in the United States Senate starting in 2025, has the support of many in the crypto industry. In July, Ripple announced it would be donating $1 million to the Commonwealth Unity Fund to support Deaton in his battle to replace Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has served in the role since 2013.
