I’m Adam Childress, a resident of Flushing Township, and I’m running to represent the 69th district of Michigan, as State Representative.

I am an avid believer in individual rights, private property rights, and the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence by our founders. I work in the field of engineering and design, which is indicative of my passion for problem solving, while getting my hands dirty around our the family hobby farm.

I am running because I believe we deserve better representation than what we currently receive from either party. My only aim is to work toward those objectives which make it easier for each of us to live our best lives as we see fit, so long as we do no harm to another.
  • Adam will work to safeguard competitive female athletics while protecting the rights of the LTBGQ+ community.
  • Adam will work to pass reasonable legislation that takes into consideration the positions held by the pro-life and pro-choice advocates while ensuring we error on the side of a woman's right to privacy.
  • Adam will advocate for the digitizing and publication of school curriculum while expanding parental resources for school choice.
My primary focus is on individual rights. I believe that all individuals are sovereign over their own lives. That respect for individual autonomy is an essential precondition for a free, prosperous, and peaceful society.

To that end, I believes it is incumbent upon us all, as citizens and neighbors, to defend each person’s right to live their life as they see fit so long as they do no harm to others. The best parts of America have sprung from the diversity that freedom brings. I will work to protect and preserve individual autonomy and the right of each individual to pursuit their dreams, in their own ways, without interference or threat from individuals, groups, the government, or any other form of authoritarian power.
Movies: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (Jimmy Stewart), The State of the Union (Spencer Tracy), and All The Presidents Men (Redford and Hoffman).

Books: 1776 by David McCullough, The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine, Notes on the State of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson, The Revolution by Ron Paul, and the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

Music: Bruce Springsteen, Kris Kristofferson, Gil Scot Heron, Fred Redcrow Westermann, Gordon Lightfoot, and Bruce Cockburn.
Honesty, integrity, an open mind, and a knowledge of self bias.
I am honest. I try to view our problems from all perspectives and consider those perspectives when offering solutions. I try to understand and account for my own bias in my decision making. And if I error, it is toward protecting, preserving, or procuring the rights of individuals.
The ideal relationship would exist when each branch of government understands its boundary's, the scope of their role within those boundaries, and set aside their party bias to put the people of Michigan first.
Absolutely, our representative government was founded on that premise. However, the two party monopoly in control of our representative government makes it very difficult to function as intended.
