Nobody dances around their record of election denial quite like the GOP Senate nominee from Arizona.

This story is part of a series of state-by-state previews of the 2024 election.Voters in Arizona have no shortage of competitive races to decide in the Nov. 5 general election, with control of the White House, the U.S. Senate and House, and both chambers of the state legislature in the balance.Arizona remains a major electoral battleground four years after President Joe Biden became only the second Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state in nearly 70 years. It is one of four states in the nation’s Sun Belt that has drawn much of the focus of both presidential campaigns in the final sprint to Election Day.Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are in a tight race for the state’s 11 electoral votes. They and their running mates have made multiple campaign stops there since securing their parties’ nominations over the summer.Other competitive contests include the race for U.S. Senate, where Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Kari Lake are running to replace outgoing independent U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, and two Republican-held U.S. House seats in Phoenix- and Tucson-area districts that both went for Biden in 2020.RELATED STORY: Republicans line up to support Ruben Gallego and Kamala HarrisIn the state legislature, Democrats hope to take over the state senate for the first time since 1992 and the state house for the first time since 1966, the last time the party controlled the governorship and both chambers simultaneously.Voters will also decide high-profile statewide ballot measures on abortion, immigration, and two competing ballot measures that would either require or eliminate the use of partisan primaries in state elections. Under the state constitution, if two contradictory ballot measures both pass, the one with the most votes in favor would become law, although the matter would likely first head to court.

Data: AdImpact; Chart: Axios VisualsGroups trying to elect pro-crypto candidates to Congress are set to spend $21 million more on ads to boost Republicans than they'll spend on Democrats in the run-up to the Nov. 5 election, Axios has learned. Why it matters: The crypto industry is proving to be a new, formidable force in this year's elections, dropping tens of millions of dollars on races that could decide which party will control Congress.The industry has been cultivating lawmakers in both parties, with its main PAC — Fairshake — endorsing equal numbers of candidates on each side. But the tens of millions of campaign ad dollars flowing from its affiliate super PACs point to the GOP as the preferred party among the crypto set.By the numbers: Since Jan. 1, Fairshake and affiliated PACs have spent $54.6 million to run and reserve election ads backing Republican candidates, and $33.7 million on ads boosting Democrats, according to AdImpact.That's 62% more spent on ads for Republicans than Democrats.What to watch: Fairshake just raised an additional $800,000 from blockchain developmment firm ConsenSys Software, Inc., in September, according to a new FEC filing.That means the crypto industry could spend even more in the crucial final two weeks before Nov. 5.With several key Senate and House races expected to be nail-biters, any last minute rush of influence ads could make a difference. Zoom in: Crypto's No. 1 focus? The Ohio Senate race. Crypto groups linked to Fairshake have dropped more than $40 million during this election cycle to back Republican challenger Bernie Moreno. The investment could be paying off — Moreno has been up in recent polls.Fairshake is aiming for a two-fer in the election: It's trying to help Moreno — a blockchain entrepreneur — defeat Sen Sherrod Brown, a Democrat who's been a critic of the crypto industry.Flashback: Fairshake's funding comes primarily from major crypto companies such as Coinbase and Ripple, and from venture capitalists known for investing in the sector. It has made it clear that it's ready to punish candidates who are unfriendly to crypto.Its war chest helped knock out Democratic primary candidates Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.) (who ran for Senate), Rep. Cori Bush (Mo.) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.).The other side: Protect Progress, the Fairshake-affiliated PAC for Democrats, is supporting two competitive Democratic Senate candidates this cycle —Rep. Ruben Gallego in Arizona and Rep. Elisa Slotkin in Michigan. It has also contributed to 15 House candidates, according to OpenSecrets.Defend American Jobs, the Republican counterpart, has supported four Senate candidates and 12 House candidates this cycle, according to OpenSecrets.Fairshake itself has supported candidates on both sides.What they're saying: "I think a slightly Republican Senate would be good because it neutralizes Elizabeth Warren's ability to influence," Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, told Axios during an interview at an industry event in October. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has been seen as the crypto industry's most vocal opponent and is likely to be the senior Democrat on the Banking Committee if Brown loses to Moreno.
