据Decision Desk HQ预测,马里兰州众议员阿德里安·博福(民主党)将接替即将退休的马里兰州众议员斯坦尼·霍耶(民主党)。

Maryland state Del. Adrian Boafo (D) is projected to win the race to succeed retiring Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer (D), according to Decision Desk HQ.

霍耶的前竞选经理在六月赢得了马里兰州坚定蓝色的第五选区民主党初选,为他在十一月大选中获胜奠定了基础。

Hoyer’s former campaign manager won the Democratic primary in Maryland’s solidly blue 5th District in June, setting the stage for his victory in the November general election.

他周二击败了共和党候选人克里斯·查菲,后者是一名常年参选的候选人。

He defeated Republican Chris Chaffee, a perennial candidate, Tuesday.

第五选区包括乔治王子县和安妮阿伦德尔县的部分地区,历史上一直是该州民主党的稳固选区。

The 5th District includes parts of Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties, and it has historically been a reliable pickup for Democrats in the state.

博福获得了霍耶、马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔(民主党)和参议员安吉拉·阿尔萨布鲁克斯(民主党-马里兰州)的背书。

Boafo was endorsed by Hoyer, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.).

这位民主党人竞选纲领包括降低生活成本、禁止国会议员股票交易、扩大托儿和教育机会、保护环境以及投资新兴技术。

The Democrat campaigned on lowering the cost of living, banning congressional stock trading, expanding childcare and education access, protecting the environment and investing in emerging technologies.

然而,博福也因接受亲加密货币超级政治行动委员会“保护进步”和美国以色列公共事务委员会的“民主联盟项目”提供的数百万美元捐款,而遭到本党当选官员的批评。

However, Boafo also faced criticism from elected officials within his own party for accepting millions of dollars in donations from pro-crypto super PAC Protect Progress and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s United Democracy Project.

民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦(马里兰州)指责这些组织试图“买下这个国会席位”。

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen (Md.) accused these organizations of trying to “buy this congressional seat.”

博福是弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的本地人,他在巴尔的摩大学获得政府与公共政策学士学位,随后又在美国大学获得工商管理硕士学位。他后来担任科技公司甲骨文的政府事务高级总监。

Boafo is a native of Arlington, Va., and he earned his bachelor's degree in government and public policy at the University of Baltimore before attaining his master’s in business administration from American University. He later worked as a senior director of government affairs for the tech company Oracle.
