I’m worried about how much this campaign hurt the perception of EA as a whole. My guess would be not too much, since it’s a local primary race, but I’m sure there are some people skeptical of the community. It’s also possible that crypto is just easier to understand as bad than EA is, so that’s what Salinas decided to run on. I’d argue that we don’t know yet how EA affects a candidate’s campaign. Although, most candidates probably have something that could drown out EA anyway, although probably not anything as damaging as crypto was.
