Hoyer Endorses Adrian Boafo to Succeed Him in Maryland's 5th District

The backing injects his extensive network into a crowded Democratic primary.

Del. Adrian Boafo, D-Prince George's County, speaks alongside activists with One Fair Wage on Feb. 1 in Annapolis to promote his bill to eliminate the tipped minimum wage in Maryland.

Overview

  • On Friday, Hoyer, 86 and the longest-serving House Democrat, endorsed Boafo and praised him as a results-driven leader.
  • Boafo is a 31-year-old Prince George's County delegate, former Hoyer campaign manager, and former Bowie City Council member.
  • The Democratic field includes Nicole Williams, Wala Blegay, Quincy Bareebe, Alexis Solis, and Navy veteran Terry Jackson.
  • Boafo welcomed the endorsement, saying it "means the world to me" and pledging to build on Hoyer's work for the district.
  • Maryland's Democratic primary is scheduled for June 23, and the district strongly favors Democrats, with Kamala Harris winning it by 33 points in 2024.
