Adam Marshall completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Marshall's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We must have housing that our citizens can afford. We have an over 30,000 housing shortage. We need attainable housing for our community, housing they can afford with the salary they make. And we need that housing across all 5 districts. We need to support initiatives like the Road to 10,000, and frankly that is a low number. We must increase the supply of housing with a diverse array of housing products (townhomes, condominiums, single family homes, patio homes, senior living spaces, and affordable housing). We must work to reduce red tape and make permitting, inspections, and the technical review process more efficient so that we can increase our housing stock faster.
- We must make sure that Greensboro is a safe community for our citizens. I fully support our public safety officers and want to make sure that they are well trained, fully staffed, and receiving competitive pay and benefits. I have had great conversations with our police and fire chiefs about their needs and good work that they do for our citizens. I am proud to be endorsed by the Greensboro Police Officers Association and the Professional Fire Fighters of Greensboro. They recognize that I will listen to their concerns and that I will work to build trust and collaboration with the citizens they serve.
- We must continue working to promote economic development in Greensboro. We need to continue to capitalize on our wins like Toyota Battery, Boom Supersonic, Honda Jet, and JetZero. We also must support our small businesses and support business incubators like LaunchGreensboro. These incubators help facilitate ideas, pair business owners with mentors, and seek capital investment. Greensboro is becoming an aerospace manufacturing hub. We must support this identity and work to develop supportive industry services and job training programs.
