House of Delegates Member · Legislative District 1A · Maryland · 2026 Primary
Members of the Maryland House of Delegates represent their local districts in the state legislature by proposing, debating, and voting on laws that impact public education, healthcare, and transportation. They work alongside the state Senate to pass Maryland’s annual budget and determine how tax dollars are allocated to community services and infrastructure projects. This office is vital because delegates shape the statewide policies and spending priorities that directly influence the daily lives of all residents.
View all candidates in this raceRev. Andy Adams is a family man and local small farmer in Garrett County running for Maryland House of Delegates Member in District 1A. He identifies as an America First conservative who stands against C.R.T for education rather than indoctrination, opposes mandates not backed by law, and supports upholding both the United States and Maryland constitutions. Adams advocates for fiscal conservatism with lower taxes, reduced government spending, and minimal debt while backing businesses and first responders. His campaign emphasizes that Maryland's decline is due to government officials rather than its people, and he positions himself as a voice needed in Annapolis representing Western Maryland.

I'm running for delegate because the decline of Maryland isn't the fault of its people. Our government officials are what's ruining the State.
Education is the backbone of a successful society and we must ensure that proper funding and attention is given to each and every school district in the state of Maryland.
We must end sanctuary cities in the state of Maryland. Policies that protect criminals who have committed violent acts and shield them from federal immigration officials puts all residents especially those in immigrant communities at risk.
I am a Pro-Life candidate for the Maryland State House of Delegates. Life begins at conception, and should not end until natural death.
