Crypto-linked super PAC Fairshake’s $5.5 million Maryland bet puts Adrian Boafo through, with other allies advancing

A crypto-focused political action committee put $5.5 million behind Maryland Democrat Adrian Boafo, who won his party’s primary to compete for an open U.S. House seat. The spending drew criticism from Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen. The group also backed other incumbents in Maryland, Utah and New York, including $1.3 million for Rep. Ritchie Torres.
