Perhaps Boafo can start a whisper campaign that lands in Moore’s office. The subject:

Start supporting and demonstrating smart policy choices for one cohort:

SMALL BUSINESS

Catalyze the existing small business community.

One can affect policy that represents a 10-year plus horizon: the DECADE Act, the TEDCO captured 10-year, 50MM Equitech Growth Fund, and Future Board while SIMULTANEOUSLY supporting the sector thst represents 99 percent of all businesses and half the private workforce in the state.

And STOP creating policies that only serve five corridor counties.

The truth of the matter, if it matters, is that Boafo is a stranger to many and will remain so for a while until he is known by his deeds. Many, indeed the majority of voters, supported him due to Steny's blessing.

The many misteps by Hoyer in recent years due to his being guided by more radical and younger staff and party up-and-comers are more than made up for by the excellent service he gave over the many long decades.

Hoyer transferred the goodwill in a legacy move, and lucky for Boafo, Wes Taxmoore didn't tax it to death.

Kurtz, in effect, was trying to tell Hoyer's many fans that he wasn't in a position to give that blessing to Boafo, and the voters, in a massive vote, told Kurtz to drop dead.

Hoyer can now go fishing and see what Boafo can do to continue his legacy of service to the Fifth District, protect our federal installations, guide federal funds into maintaining roads, and replace the decrepit Gov. Thomas Johnson Bridge before it falls into the Patuxent.

Congratulations, Mark, for managing to earn 17,000 votes for a client who dropped nearly $7 million of her own money in the race - $400 per vote. A brain damaged eel could have dragged that campaign to 20 percent, probably by being smart enough not to bring Jamaal Bowman into a district largely consisting of federal workers and defense workers.
