- A shared vision and collaborative leadership. Forsyth County needs clear goals and leaders who bring people together to achieve them. County government works best when it partners with schools, municipalities, nonprofits, and residents around a shared community vision. By clarifying roles, aligning resources, and tracking progress, we can move beyond silos and make real, measurable improvements in people’s lives.
- Investing in what strengthens our local economy. A strong local economy starts with strong foundations. Strategic investments in public education, child care and pre-K, and affordable housing help families thrive and support long-term economic growth. When the county invests wisely and intentionally in these areas, we build a stronger workforce, improve economic mobility, and create opportunity for more residents to succeed.
- Accountability, transparency, and results. Residents deserve a county government that is clear about its priorities and accountable for outcomes. That means making data-informed decisions, being transparent about how public dollars are spent, and measuring whether investments are actually improving results. We should expect progress, not promises—and continuously adjust based on what’s working.
I’m also deeply committed to expanding access to affordable child care and pre-K, which supports working families and helps children get a strong start. Addressing our affordable housing shortage is another critical priority, as stable housing is foundational to health, education, and workforce participation.

Adam’s Vision for Our Community
A Thriving Local Economy
More and more families are feeling the squeeze from rising costs, limited job opportunities, and uneven economic growth across neighborhoods.
Why This Matters
A thriving economy isn’t just about numbers—it’s about whether people can support their families, build wealth, and feel secure in their future. That’s the foundation of a healthy community. When people can access good jobs, start businesses, and afford to live in the community they love, everyone benefits.
What We Can Do
- Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs through grants, simplified permitting, and technical assistance.
- Attract high-quality jobs that provide living wages and career pathways.
- Strengthen workforce development programs in partnership with schools, community colleges, and local employers.
Strong, Fully Funded Schools
Outdated facilities … staffing shortages … unequal resource distribution … widening achievement gaps …
Why This Matters
Public schools are the backbone of opportunity. These issues are just a few of the challenges facing our schools – and they impact not only students but also the long-term vitality of the local workforce and economy. When we don’t invest in students, teachers, and school infrastructure, we weaken the entire community infrastructure.
What We Can Do
- Advocate for fair and adequate school funding at local and state levels.
- Ensure teachers and school staff are paid competitively and supported in their work.
- Modernize school buildings to provide safe, inspiring learning environments.
- Expand mental health supports and services for students.
- Foster partnerships between schools, families, and community organizations.
Early Childhood Education
Investing in children early is one of the most effective ways to improve long-term outcomes for individuals and communities.
Why This Matters
Early childhood experiences determine child readiness for school, lifetime health, and economic mobility. Yet too many families lack access to affordable, high-quality early education and childcare.
And this isn’t just about child development—it’s also an economic issue. When families cannot find or afford childcare, parents (especially mothers) are pushed out of the workforce or forced to reduce their hours. Expanding early education options strengthens family stability and boosts local workforce participation, helping employers fill jobs and supporting a stronger, more resilient economy.
What We Can Do
- Expand access to early learning programs and childcare subsidies.
- Improve pay and professional development for early educators.
- Promote evidence-based programs that strengthen families and help children thrive.
Transparent, Open, and Accountable Government
Transparency and engagement aren’t side issues. They’re essential to making progress in every policy area.
Why This Matters
Residents often feel decisions are made without meaningful input, or that information is too difficult to find. This disconnect leads to frustration and reduces trust in the very institutions meant to serve the public. Only when residents feel informed, heard, and respected can trust in local government grow.
What We Can Do
- Increase transparency by making data, budgets, and decision-making processes easy to access and understand.
- Create more opportunities for residents to participate early—and genuinely—in policy decisions.
- Hold local government accountable through clear metrics, public reporting, and independent oversight.
- Expand language access, digital access, and in-person engagement so all communities can participate
- Build a culture of listening, where feedback shapes priorities and actions.
Affordable Housing
Housing profoundly impacts individual productivity by affecting health, financial stability, and access to jobs
Why This Matters
Housing instability disrupts families and disproportionately affects lower-income and historically marginalized neighborhoods. Rising rents, limited homeownership opportunities, and displacement pressures make it increasingly difficult for residents to remain in the community.
What We Can Do
- Increase the supply of affordable housing by leveraging public–private partnerships.
- Preserve existing affordable units to prevent displacement.
- Expand programs for first-time homebuyers and workforce housing.
- Improve zoning and land-use policies to encourage diverse housing types.
- Strengthen tenant protections and support services that help families stay housed.
