Alma Adams is a veteran teacher who started public life as the first African American woman elected to the Greensboro City School Board. She was later elected to the Greensboro City Council before being appointed to the NC House of Representatives in 1994 where she’s been re-elected ever since.

As an elected official, she’s been an indefatigable advocate for education, the arts, affordable housing and reproductive rights. She’s been the strongest advocate in the legislature for both community colleges and historically African American institutions of higher learning which are the keys to getting ahead for less privileged people in North Carolina. She passed our 38 question progressive questionnaire with a strong “A” grade.

North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District is one of two majority-minority districts in the state. The district is heavily Democratic, with the primary victor virtually certain to win the general. (Rep. Mel Watt defeated his Republican opponent by 4:1)

There are six declared candidates right now, with the primary scheduled for May 6th. Only two candidates are polling in the double digits; Adams is one of them. If elected she would be the first woman in the NC Congressional Delegation since the early 90s.

Adams is widely recognized as a champion of the 99% which isn’t true of any other candidate in the contest. She’s also well known in the state for always wearing a distinctive hat. Let’s work to make those hats famous in Washington as well.
