James Adams completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Adams' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will be a strong advocate for public schools and teachers. The state legislature needs to provide schools with the financial support they need so every student has the best opportunity to succeed. I believe the Leandro plan should be fully implemented in compliance with the court’s decisions. Our state is sitting on a rainy-day fund that could be used for this purpose.
- I will work to bring economic opportunity to High Point including transportation, housing, and better representation for High Point in the General Assembly in Raleigh.
- I will work to reduce gun violence. I support comprehensive background checks, including local sheriff’s issuing permits for handguns. I support common sense measures like red flag laws and limitations on the sale of high-capacity magazines and bump stocks.
