Rolling Stone:
Dem Overseeing Digital Assets to Hold Luxury Retreat With Crypto Kingpin
Freshman Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego was recently named the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committees new subcommittee on digital assets, which will oversee cryptocurrencies. Next month, Gallego will hold a ritzy donor retreat alongside one of the crypto industrys biggest cheerleaders and investors, Marc Andreessen.
The prolific political blogger Matt Yglesias will be a featured speaker at the Gallego event alongside Andreessen, a co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, according to an invite obtained by Rolling Stone.
The invite suggests donations of $5,000 to attend the retreat, which is set to take place over three days at the luxury oasis LAuberge de Sedona. (The cheapest accommodation available for out-of-state visitors that weekend, according to the resorts website, is $1,809 per night, with a two-night minimum.) Donations will benefit Gallegos leadership PAC, called Juntos PAC.

Sinema, for her part, recently joined the global advisory council of Coinbase, a crypto exchange that invested heavily in the industry Super PACs that supported Gallegos bid.

The article also includes my former Senator Sinema who used to go by as a Democrat. The Kelly text messages are on my phone. It is great that people in New York feel represented but I don't have that in Arizona.
