Johnson.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Adams is a former college administrator and art professor from Greensboro. She is known for her distinctive hats.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She won the 2014 special election in North Carolina's 12th congressional district to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mel Watt, becoming the 100th woman serving in the 113th Congress. She won election to a full two-year term at the same time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>"Milestone: Alma Adams Victory Means 100 Women in Congress", NBCNews.com</ref>
Early life and educationEdit
Adams was born on May 27, 1946, in High Point, North Carolina, to Benjamin Shealey and Mattie Stokes.<ref name="NCManual">Template:Cite book</ref> She was raised by her mother, who worked as a domestic worker.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Adams moved with her family to Baltimore, Maryland, as a child before settling in Newark, New Jersey.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She attended the predominantly white West Side High School in Newark and graduated in 1964.<ref name="NCManual" />
Adams then went to North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1969 and a Master of Science degree in 1972, both in art education.<ref name=":2" /> While at NC A&T, she served as president of the Arts Circle and became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.<ref name=":1" />
Art careerEdit
After completing her graduate studies, Adams was appointed chair of the art department at the Palmer Institute, where she taught students in grades seven through twelve.<ref name=":2" /> She later earned a Ph.D. in art education and multicultural education from Ohio State University in 1981.<ref name="NCManual" />
Adams later joined the faculty of Bennett College in Greensboro, where she taught until 2012.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She was also the director of the Steel Hall Art Gallery.<ref name="NCManual" /> In 1990, Adams and artist Eva Hamlin Miller co-founded the African American Atelier, an organization established to advance awareness and appreciation for visual arts and cultures of African Americans.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
State legislatureEdit
Adams began her political career as a member of the Greensboro City School Board from 1984 to 1986, before serving on the Greensboro City Council from 1987 until her appointment to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1994.<ref name="NCManual" /><ref name="Gist seat">Template:Cite news</ref>
She was appointed to the state House to fill the seat of Representative Herman Gist, who had died in office. At the time of her appointment, Adams had already announced her candidacy to challenge Gist in the upcoming Democratic primary in 1994. The house district included most of southeastern Greensboro in Guilford County.<ref name="Gist seat" /> In the primary election, she defeated O.C. Stafford, a businessman, retired engineer, and perennial candidate, who had previously run for office as both a Democrat and a Republican.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Adams won a full term in the 1994 general election, defeating Republican Roger G. Coffer.<ref name="1994nchouse" /> She went on to win reelection in 1996<ref name="1996nchouse" /> and 1998<ref name="1998nchouse" /> against Stafford, who ran as a Republican in both races.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In 2000, Adams was unopposed in the Democratic primary and defeated Republican Jim Rumley in the general election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="2000nchouse" />
Following redistricting in 2002, Adams' district was renumbered from the 26th to the 58th. That year, she was challenged by Libertarian candidate David Williams, who withdrew from the race before the election but remained on the ballot.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Adams won reelection with nearly 86% of the vote.<ref name="2002nchouse" /> From 2004 onward, she faced repeated challenges from Republican legal assistant and party activist Olga Morgan Wright, defeating her in every election through 2008, and then again in 2012.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Adams defeated Wright and Libertarian challenger Walter Sperko with 66% of the vote in 2004.<ref name="2004nchouse" /> In the next election Adams had no competition in the primary; she defeated Wright in the general election 66%–34%.<ref name="2006nchouse" /> In 2008, the year Barack Obama was elected president, Democratic voters had a high rate of participation, and Adams defeated Wright 71.35%–28.65%<ref name="2008nchouse" /> In 2010, Adams was challenged in the Democratic primary by Ralph C. Johnson. She defeated Johnson with 76.56% of the vote.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Adams next faced Republican Darin H. Thomas in the general election, beating him 63.15%–36.85%.<ref name="2010nchouse" /> In 2012, Adams had no primary opposition and defeated Olga Wright in the general election, 79.86%–20.14%.<ref name="2012nchouse" />
During her tenure in the North Carolina House, Adams was elected chair of the North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus and served a second term in that role in 2008.<ref>"Adams to chair Black Caucus again" Template:Webarchive, News & Observer</ref> She also chaired the North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus Foundation, which provides scholarships to students attending the state's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Adams held leadership roles in several committees, including serving as vice chair of the Government Committee, chair of the Appropriations Committee, and vice chair of the Commerce, Small Business, and Entrepreneurship Committee.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="NCManual" />
U.S. House of RepresentativesEdit
ElectionsEdit
2014 special and general electionsEdit
Template:See also In April 2013, Mel Watt, the only congressman to have served the 12th District since its creation in 1993, was appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Adams was one of the first to announce that if Watt were confirmed, she would run in the ensuing special election. Watt was confirmed in December 2013. Adams formally filed paperwork to run in both the Democratic primary for a full two-year term in the 114th Congress and the special election held in November 2014 to fill the balance of Watt's 11th term.<ref name=kickoff>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web
}}</ref> Adams was sworn in on November 12, 2014, to complete the remaining seven weeks of Watt's term.<ref name="Alma Adams - Ballotpedia">Template:Cite news</ref> After the swearing-in, Adams became the 100th female member of the congressional class, beating the previous record of 99.<ref name="Alma Adams - Ballotpedia"/>
Analysts thought that Adams was at a geographic disadvantage in the five-way primary for both the special and regular elections (held on the same day in November 2014). She is from Greensboro, but the bulk of the district's population is in Charlotte. But with three Charlotteans in the race splitting that region's vote, Adams won both primaries with about 44% of the vote,<ref name="2014ushouseprimary" /> a few thousand votes over the 40% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. She faced Republican Vince Coakley, a former television and radio broadcaster from Matthews, in the general and special elections, which were held on the same day. The 12th was a heavily Democratic district with a majority-black voting population and a Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+26, and Adams won both elections handily.
Adams is the second woman of color to represent North Carolina in the House. The first was Eva Clayton, who represented much of eastern North Carolina from 1992 to 2002.
2016Edit
A court-ordered redistricting in 2016 made the Adam's 12th district somewhat more compact. It now comprised nearly all of Mecklenburg County, home to Charlotte. Her home in Greensboro was drawn into the 13th district. She subsequently moved to Charlotte to remain in the 12th district.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Whether she had moved by June was not clear.<ref name="WBTV Notebook">Template:Cite news</ref>
With seven Charlotteans splitting the vote, Adams won the 2016 Democratic primary with 42%, just over the threshold to avoid a runoff.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="2016ushouseprimary" /> This all but assured her of a second full term; due to Charlotte and Mecklenburg County's heavy swing to the Democrats in recent years, the reconfigured 12th is no less Democratic than its predecessor.
TenureEdit
Adams endorsed Hillary Clinton In the 2016 presidential election and pledged her support as a superdelegate.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She did not attend the Inauguration of Donald Trump in 2017.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Adams and Representatives A. Donald McEachin and Brian Fitzpatrick introduced the African American Burial Grounds Preservation Act in 2022, would have the National Park Service work with local governments to identify, survey, research, and preserve historic African American cemeteries and burial grounds. The legislation has bipartisan support in the House.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
