The Democratic establishment and the crypto industry are intervening in a competitive Maryland Democratic primary to back a lobbyist who has been working for the tech giant Oracle while simultaneously serving as a state lawmaker.
According to federal campaign finance records reviewed by the Lever, a deep-pocketed crypto super PAC is now spending $300,000 to support the lobbyist’s candidacy — one of the largest cash infusions the group has made so far this election cycle.
Democrat Adrian Boafo worked as a top lobbyist at Oracle, a cloud-computing tech firm cofounded by billionaire and GOP megadonor Larry Ellison, as recently as the final quarter of 2025. For more than half of the nearly five years he has been at the company, he has held public office in the Maryland House of Delegates. His LinkedIn page still lists Oracle as one of his current employers.
