Why is this so important? The ‘Speaker of the House’ or the Speaker of the House of Representatives sets the agenda and decides which bills are debated and voted on.

This position is considered to be the most powerful position in American politics after the President and Vice President. So this is definitely not a small thing.

What is Crypto?

Emmer is immediately a major contender for the position, which has already been received with loud cheers by the crypto community. Emmer has often spoken out in support of the crypto industry and has also strongly opposed the policy of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Emmer already has the necessary support from members of Congress. Congressman etc Brad Finstadt expressed his support and called Emmer a mentor and friend. He also spoke about the need for a functioning House of Representatives.

“The American people deserve a Congress that works. I hope my colleagues can come together and hold this election to put the House of Representatives back in order and back to working for the American people.

With Emmer in this position, pro-crypto bills could gain more traction. Emmer can use his influence to push crypto-friendly bills, and the importance of this should not be underestimated.
