Elections
2011
On October 22, 2011, Adams won election to District 85 of the Louisiana House of Representatives. He faced Stephen Leonard (R) in the primary election on October 22, 2011. Because Louisiana uses a blanket primary system, a candidate can be declared the overall winner of the seat by garnering 50 percent +1 of the vote in the primary. However, if no candidate reaches this threshold, then a general election will take place on November 19, 2011.
