Pro-XRP attorney sets $1 million campaign goal, sure he can win Senate bid

In the Massachusetts Senate election, pro-XRP attorney John Deaton has declared himself prepared to challenge Senator Elizabeth Warren, a vocal opponent of cryptocurrencies, and he is pleading with his sizable social media fan base to contribute to his campaign.
Deaton disclosed to his 324,100 followers on X that he contributed $500,000 of his personal funds to the Senate campaign. Even though Warren had held the position for eleven years, he continued to express his optimism that he may challenge her.
September 3rd is the date of the election. Deaton has given 50% of the campaign funding, but he has asked his fans to help raise an extra $500,000, which can be given in cryptocurrency or cash.
“You have to have confidence in yourself; if I could finance myself, I would, as freedom is at stake. I require your assistance. By the end of the quarter, I want to raise $1 million,” Deaton said.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, announced to his followers on March 4 that he had contributed to Deaton’s campaign because the nation needed people who are “willing to take on the establishment against banks writing our laws and destroying the Crypto industry.”
According to reports, Deaton formally announced his candidacy for the Massachusetts United States Senate seat on February 20. In a video that was made public on February 20th, Deaton declared that the main goal of his campaign will be to “take on the Washington elites,” alleging that Senator Warren “gets nothing done” for Massachusetts.
It’s no secret that there is friction between Deaton and government figures who oppose cryptocurrencies, like Warren, despite the fact that he is avoiding the topic of cryptocurrency throughout his campaign.
Warren claimed in December 2023 that there was a “revolving door” between insiders in Washington and the cryptocurrency business, implying that numerous public servants may be setting the stage while they are still employed by the government to apply for lobbying jobs involving digital assets.
