Dark money has emerged as a pivotal topic in the crowded race to replace Representative Steny Hoyer in Maryland. The competition involves 24 candidates and nearly $11 million linked to cryptocurrency and pro-Israel groups.

On June 12, Maryland state delegate Adrian Boafo, a Congressional hopeful, gained attention when introduced by Steny H. Hoyer at the AmeriPac Bull Roast. Hoyer, the former House majority leader, announced his retirement after serving for 45 years, sparking a broad contest among Democrats.
