The page is explicitly titled 'RED BOX LANGUAGE' and contains detailed instructions for an outside group on what ads to run, on which channels (broadcast, cable, streaming, radio, YouTube, Meta), to which audience (Likely Democratic voters, Likely Dem Primary Voters), and with what message themes (standing up to Trump, record on costs, opponent lies). This matches the definition of red-box guidance, not a press kit or voter persuasion page.

Skip to Main Content Home Meet Adrian Issues Endorsements News Volunteer Vote DONATE Media RED BOX LANGUAGE Updated: June 14, 2026 Likely Democratic voters need to see on broadcast, cable, streaming, and Prince George’s County radio that Adrian Boafo is running for Congress to stand up to Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on Maryland families, that he has the proven record to fight back against the Trump administration, and that he has the endorsements of Governor Wes Moore, Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Congressman Steny Hoyer and the Maryland State Education Association. Voters should learn about Adrian’s policy stances, first about how he’s standing up to Trump and protecting Marylanders: Adrian stood up to ICE in the State House and will stand up to Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on Maryland families and the rule of law. As delegate, he wrote the ICE Breaker Act which would ban officers who joined ICE during Trump’s attack on immigrant communities from ever serving in the state police force. Adrian will fight Trump’s corrupt administration that is dragging our government to its breaking point. Then, voters should learn about Adrian’s record to fight for Maryland families burdened by rising prices and costs made worse by Trump’s policies: Adrian is a lifelong Marylander who understands that too many families are burdened by Trump’s economy and the rising costs of everything from gas, groceries and housing. In the House of Delegates, Adrian took the lead on raising the minimum wage, lower utility costs, and stop Wall Street from buying Maryland homes. In addition, voters need to hear that his opponents are lying about his record. He has taken on data centers by working with Wes Moore to require them to cover the costs for the energy they generate, protecting Marylanders from rising utility bills, and use renewable energy to protect our environment.
