John Deaton launches 2026 Senate bid in deep-blue Massachusetts
John Deaton, a Massachusetts Republican, has launched a new campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2026. He will challenge Democratic incumbent Ed Markey. Deaton's past record includes a previous Senate run against Elizabeth Warren, which he lost by a significant margin. His current campaign does not prioritize crypto policy, but it accepts donations in various cryptocurrencies.
Deaton's interest in crypto is well-documented. His campaign biography mentions his advocacy for XRP holders. However, his campaign website does not highlight crypto policy. Instead, it focuses on other issues. Deaton's odds of victory are uncertain, given the United States' reliably blue voting record in Massachusetts. The state's Republican leadership will vote on endorsing his candidacy.
Deaton's campaign accepts donations in several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and meme coins. This is a departure from his previous campaign, which did not actively court crypto donations. There is no information available about the PAC Fairshake's position or support regarding Deaton's 2026 Senate candidacy.
John Deaton's 2026 Senate campaign in Massachusetts is underway. While his past record and the state's voting history make his prospects uncertain, his campaign's acceptance of crypto donations signals a shift in his fundraising strategy. The Republican party's state leadership will soon decide on endorsing his candidacy.
