Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D.

My statement today on the legacy of Congressman John Lewis.

My statement on the Massie Amendment to the National Security Department of State, & Related Programs Appropriations Bill

Today is the 4th anniversary of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first federal gun violence prevention legislation to become law in over 30 years. We must keep building on this foundation to keep communities like North Carolina's 12th District safe.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death of American children and teens. As Gun Violence Prevention Month comes to an end, please remember to help keep our community safe by securely storing firearms. Safer storage can save lives.

I voted for the Iran War Powers Resolution. For over 90 days, the Trump administration has waged war on Iran without a defined exit strategy or congressional authorization, dragging our country further into Trump’s self-declared war of choice and a deepening financial crisis.

I am working in the Education and Workforce Committee to ensure we prioritize students and educators over the interests of AI companies. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-re…

Wade’s award-winning piece, African Basquiat, an Acrylic and Polly paint masterpiece was unveiled during the Grand Opening Exhibition Sunday, May 17, 2026, at Mint Museum Uptown at Levine Center for the Arts in Charlotte.

I am proud to announce Morgan Wade, a sophomore at West Charlotte High School, as the winner of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition representing North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District.

Requiring proof of intent to discriminate in states with documented histories of racial voter suppression is not legal interpretation. It is judicial activism and willful blindness.

Congressional oversight exists to serve the public good, not to strong arm universities and police students' political opinions.

This Farm Bill hurts farmers and consumers and it fails to address the current problems facing our farms.

Food assistance is getting cut for those who need it. Costs of fertilizer, equipment, fuel, and labor are rising, tariffs are swinging up and down, crop prices are weak, and farms are going under.

This Farm Bill is just about Punishing Poor People. Call your member of Congress and let them know it's a BAD BILL.

The first-place winner will have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year and will be invited, along with a guardian, to Washington, D.C. to participate in the official installation ceremony.

The exhibition will remain on view in the Mint Museum’s Uptown Culbertson Family Learning Center from May 17 through June 7.

Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) is proud to present the grand opening of the 2026 12th District Congressional Art Competition Exhibition, celebrating the creativity, talent, and artistic vision of the next generation of artists from North Carolina’s 12th District.
