I'm so excited that the CLARITY Act is about to pass the Senate. It sucks that I'm not in Congress to have voted for it. But I'm excited to support the developers and the innovation that will make America the blockchain capital of the world, and not China!
My platform isn’t just about “pro-crypto” talking points, it’s about constitutional and economic liberty. In FL-20, we have a significant unbanked and underbanked population. For many in our Haitian and Latino communities, remittances and digital wallets aren’t luxuries, they are lifelines. When I get to Congress, I won’t just support legislation like the CLARITY Act, I will co-sponsor legislation and write some on day one. I will work to ensure that the “Digital Coast” of South Florida becomes a hub for high-paying tech jobs that don’t require a degree from an Ivy League school, but rather the ingenuity and “Genius” found right here in our district.
The choice in this race is clear. We can continue with the status quo, a Washington that fears what it doesn’t understand, or we can elect a representative who understands that the future of the American economy is on-chain.
Elijah Manley completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and strongly supports cryptocurrency and digital assets, advocating for clear legislative pathways for businesses and individual rights like self-custody. He believes in preventing regulatory overreach that could stifle innovation, opposing a Central Bank Digital Currency on privacy grounds, and addressing jurisdictional clarity between agencies like the SEC and CFTC. He also supports specific initiatives like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act to establish safe harbors for software developers.
