Despite nearly $11 million in donations from FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, Democratic House candidate Carrick Flynn lost his Oregon primary race.

Early Wednesday, Flynn conceded to state Rep. Andrea Salinas, a three-term state lawmaker who is looking to become Oregon’s first Hispanic woman in Congress. The seat they were running for was in Oregon’s 6th Congressional district, which stretches from Salem to the Portland area.

Bankman-Fried, who is 30 years old and worth almost $22 billion, donated to Flynn because of Flynn’s interest in pandemic preparedness, he told the New York Times — Flynn claims to have studied pandemics and disaster prevention at the University of Oxford.
