Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Adam worked two jobs to pay his way through college. It wasn’t enough. Juggling class, work, and tuition left him penniless and living out of his car. Where many would give up, Adam strengthened his resolve and fought to finish his education. His fortitude and work ethic, coupled with the support of dear friends, family, and the great Oklahoma State University made all the difference. Today, Adam is proud to call himself an OSU alum with a bachelor’s degree in history. He’s the first in his family to earn a degree.

Adam’s story ultimately connected him to the highest rung of power at the University. He was tasked to give speeches at the University on his story of perseverance. He made friends that a kid from Wagoner would never dream of having. One administrator joked to Adam, “once you become great don’t forget about us”. Of course, Adam will never forget the belief the OSU community had in him. It was during that season of his life that Adam realized that it’s okay to ask for help. We all need that helping hand at times. He is committed to paying it forward in the service of his community.

Adam’s integrity, compassion, and drive for justice are bolstered by his faith, work ethic, and belief in the good people of Oklahoma. He is living proof that the American dream is alive and well. He believes that it takes good people working together to do great work. He is running for Congress to work with YOU to make our state and our nation better than ever.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Everyday I hear from Oklahomans like you and me, saying they don't have time to enjoy the simple things in life because they are too busy working to survive.

​

By focusing on quality education, good jobs, and access to healthcare, we can improve the lives of every citizen.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to leaders such as Thurgood Marshall and countless others. But I admire Thurgood approach to justice and I have always saw myself as the sorta leader that could work for change on the inside of politics.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Integrity, Work as a Team, Patriotism, Spirituality and tell the truth are some of my main core values of my leadership.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to leave a legacy of integrity and that I was willing to fight on the behalf of all races, genders, & religions. Because it’s not about me but the people I was elected to serve.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Good Good Father by: Chris Tomlin

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No not particularly because politics has a bad reputation and someone with the drive, hard work with leadership skills can be just as successful.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Can we get any bipartisanship done to heal this nation. But sadly with all the division around the country I’m speechless. Because we have our next generation watching to see how we answer this moment. We owe it to them to work together for the common good of this nation.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

John Lewis, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Cory Booker are some of the past and present people I admire their work.
