  "textContent": "Adrian Boafo has won the Democratic nomination in Maryland's 5th Congressional District, the Associated Press projects, prevailing in a crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer. The AP called the race at 9:28 p.m.\n\nBoafo is a state delegate from Bowie and Hoyer's endorsed choice. He's also backed by Gov. Wes Moore and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks.\n\nHis bid drew more than $8 million in outside spending, including from a cryptocurrency-aligned super PAC — prompting rivals Dunn, Bareebe and Baker to jointly criticize the \"dark money\" supporting him.\n\n**RELATED:** Rep. Steny Hoyer announces that he will retire at end of his term\n\nThe 5th District seat came open after Hoyer — first elected in 1981 and a former House majority leader — announced he would not seek another term, ending one of the longest congressional tenures in Maryland history. Two dozen Democrats filed to replace him.\n\nBoafo advances to the Nov. 3 general election and is favored in the Democratic-leaning district.",
