MARYLAND (WBFF) — Maryland Democrat Adrian Boafo has advanced to November’s general election in the race to succeed his retiring former boss, U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer.
In choosing him over nearly two dozen competitors, voters in the 5th District opted for a continuation of Hoyer’s pragmatic style of politics rather than a more progressive, antiestablishment approach promised by some other candidates.
Boafo, a 32-year-old state delegate, received key endorsements from Hoyer, Gov. Wes Moore and other prominent Democrats, along with donations from tech firms and the cryptocurrency industry. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC also spent more than $1 million backing him.
Boafo worked as a field director and campaign manager for Hoyer before becoming a lobbyist and state delegate.
