据美联社报道，马里兰州民主党众议员阿德里安·博阿福周二从竞争激烈的民主党初选中脱颖而出，拿下前众议院多数党领袖斯坦尼·霍耶所在的深蓝马里兰州选区提名，其竞选得到了加密货币和亲以方组织数百万美元的外部支出支持。
现年32岁的博阿福周二击败了约24名争夺该民主党优势选区席位的挑战者，其中包括前美国国会警察局长哈里·邓恩。
曾在2021年1月6日国会骚乱期间保卫美国国会大厦的邓恩将反对总统唐纳德·特朗普作为竞选核心议题，包括批评对1月6日骚乱参与者的赦免以及特朗普已落空的18亿美元“反武器化”基金。邓恩于2023年从国会警察队伍辞职。

据《华盛顿邮报》报道，博阿福的初选胜利背后，有加密货币关联超级政治行动委员会“保护进步”以及与美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）关联的外部支出团体“联合民主项目”为其竞选投入了超过1000万美元。

他还得到了马里兰州民主党建制派的支持，包括霍耶、马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔（民主党）、马里兰州参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯（民主党）以及该州最大的教师工会的背书。
博阿福曾担任霍耶的竞选助手，也曾是软件和科技公司甲骨文的联邦说客，2022年当选马里兰州众议院议员。
现年86岁的霍耶已代表南马里兰州该席位45年，他于今年1月宣布退休，引发了约24名民主党候选人争夺该开放席位的混战。他曾在2007年至2011年以及2019年至2023年期间与曾是对手的前众议院议长、加利福尼亚州民主党人南希·佩洛西一同在众议院民主党领导层任职。

马里兰州选票乌龙引发众议院共和党人在初选前展开调查
佩洛西在本次初选中与霍耶决裂，背书邓恩，称他是“真正的美国英雄”。邓恩曾在2024年尝试竞选马里兰州众议院开放席位，但初选失败。
邓恩明显居住在他试图代表的选区之外，住在马里兰州惠顿，但他表示如果赢得初选和大选，将搬至马里兰州第五国会选区。

鉴于该选区民主党优势显著，初选获胜者预计不会在11月的大选中面临激烈的共和党挑战。

Del. Adrian Boafo, D-Md., emerged from a crowded Democratic primary Tuesday to clinch the nomination for former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s deep-blue Maryland seat, aided by millions in outside spending from cryptocurrency and pro-Israel groups.
Boafo, 32, defeated a crowded field of roughly two dozen challengers vying to represent the heavily Democratic district Tuesday, including former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, according to The Associated Press.
Dunn, who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots in 2021, put opposition to President Donald Trump at the center of his campaign, including criticizing the pardoning of Jan. 6 riot defendants and the president’s defunct $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Dunn resigned from the Capitol Police force in 2023.

Boafo’s primary victory comes after the crypto-aligned super PAC Protect Progress and the United Democracy Project — an outside spending group linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) — spent more than $10 million to support his candidacy, according to The Washington Post.

He also had the backing of Maryland’s Democratic establishment, including endorsements from Hoyer, Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., and the state’s largest teachers union.
Boafo previously worked as a campaign aide to Hoyer and a federal lobbyist for the software and technology company Oracle before being elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2022.
Hoyer, 86, who has represented the southern Maryland seat for 45 years, announced his retirement in January, setting off a scramble among roughly 24 Democratic candidates for the open seat. He served in House Democratic leadership with his one-time rival, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., from 2007 to 2011 and 2019 to 2023.

MARYLAND BALLOT BLUNDER SPARKS HOUSE GOP PROBE AHEAD OF PRIMARY
Pelosi broke with Hoyer in the primary contest to endorse Dunn, calling him a “true American hero.” Dunn previously mounted a failed primary bid for an open Maryland House seat in 2024.
Dunn notably lived outside the district he sought to represent, residing in Wheaton, Md., but said he would move to Maryland’s 5th Congressional District if he won the primary and general election.

Former Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, who launched failed gubernatorial bids in 2018 and 2022, and businesswoman Quincy Bareebe, also ran in the open Democratic primary.

Given the district’s significant Democratic tilt, the primary winner is not expected to face a competitive GOP challenge in the November general election.
