A political action committee aligned with the cryptocurrency industry has donated millions to support Adrian Boafo’s campaign for Maryland’s House Democratic primary, according to a report published on Sunday.
Maryland Primary Has Crypto Inc Getting Involved
Protect Progress, a group that claims to support Democratic candidates committed to establishing a clear cryptocurrency framework in the U.S., spent more than $5.5 million to boost Boafo’s campaign, reported The Washington Post.
Boafo is the former campaign manager and “chosen successor” of Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who is set to retire at the end of his term in January 2027 from Maryland’s 5th Congressional District.
During his tenure as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, Boafo introduced a bill aimed at protecting cryptocurrency from state-level regulation and advocated for a law to examine policies beneficial to the industry, the report stated.
