Campaign themes
2014
Adamczyk's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Job creation
- Excerpt: "I believe that providing necessary local and state funded programs that offer workforce training and leadership programs will assist in the development of employees who can apply for these jobs in their community. In order to promote job creation I will work collaboratively with local and state leaders to assess opportunities for shared resources to strengthen small businesses. I intend to support local business development and institute small business loan opportunities."
Education
- Excerpt: "I will commit to increase school funding per child in North Carolina. I am committed to fight for Early Childhood Education program funding such as “Smart Start”. I intend to advocate for teacher contracts to be reinstated and for Master's degree pay to be recognized for compensation. In order to recruit, retain, and develop highly effective teachers, they must be treated as the professionals that they are by the state of North Carolina."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "I believe that an issue impacting both Cumberland and Hoke County citizens addresses quality women's health care. I believe and intend to advocate for state programs that promote health education and preventative health care resources for women."
