Member of Congress · 119th Congress
Alma S. Adams
Alma Adams is a Democratic U.S. representative from North Carolina, in Congress since 2014, who voted with most Democrats on 99% of the 119th Congress’s yes/no votes and has had 3 bills become law since 2014.
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Full election history for this seat →
Source: MIT Election Data and Science Lab, U.S. House V15 / U.S. Senate V8 (CC0), retrieved 2026-10-18; winners matched to member records by seat and term. Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has North Carolina’s 12th district done while Rep. Adams served?
2016 to 2021 in NC-12: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 2.3 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was about the same.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in North Carolina’s 12th district during Adams’s time representing it (2014 to now). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Only one set of district lines is shown. NC-12 was redrawn in 2012, 2016, 2022 and again in 2024, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2016 to 2021 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2014 to now.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
