Adams' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Education Equity

All children have the right to a free, quality public school education in a safe environment that provides an equal opportunity to succeed. We must guarantee a pipeline to success by providing our children a consistent quality of education from preschool through college. This means ensuring our students aren’t packed into overcrowded classrooms and placed in situations where two or more schools are forced to co-exist in one building.

Economic Development

Labor & Careers: Growth should be affordable to all community residents regardless of income level. Long-standing residents and small businesses should never

be priced out of thriving in developing neighborhoods. The fear of increased property values and displacement must never be realized for the families of Southeast Queens. For many families, one of the most pressing concerns is stability. Parents want to ensure that their children and loved ones have a stable home with proper means to support their families. One of the most effective ways for families to achieve stability is through solid careers with opportunity for growth and benefits, including affordable health-care, dental coverage and retirement plans. I intend to work with labor union representation to continue to guarantee and protect careers, wages and benefits.

Minority & Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs)

The numbers of women in management and decision-making places in Corporate America do not reflect our numbers in tenacity of employment, paying the bills and keeping food on the table for our families. In this day and time, women are still at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to gaining our fair share of business equity. I will partner with colleagues in Albany to ensure that new legislation supports pay equality for women.

Affordable Housing

I will fight to ensure that Southeast Queens gets its fair share of state funding and state-financed incentives to create new affordable housing units in our district. State government must ensure that developers building new housing and commercial properties provide rental and home ownership opportunities for working families. The issue of affordable housing extends to the senior population. As our neighborhoods are being developed, less affordable housing exists for seniors. A majority of their lives have been spent working with a hope of retirement and the an ability to afford housing on fixed incomes. I will work to ensure that housing development in District 10 includes access to exceptional affordable homes.[11]
