Christopher T. Adams (born June 19, 1972) is an American politician who has served as a Republican member of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing District 37B, since 2015.
[7][8] In 2018, Maryland Matters listed Adams as one of the ten most vulnerable House incumbents in the June 2018 General Assembly primaries.
[2] In 2019, Adams voted to sustain Governor Larry Hogan's veto on legislation that would increase the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour.
[12] Adams opposed legislation introduced in the 2021 legislative session that would require government-funded construction projects to pay prevailing wages on contracts over $250,000 or when at least 25% of a project's construction costs are from state funds, arguing that the bill would hurt small, minority- and women-owned contractors the most and raise costs for smaller governments.
[13] Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Adams defended Governor Hogan's decision to cut federal unemployment benefits, saying that the most direct way to get money to people "is to put them back on the payroll working".
[17] Adams was one of six Republican delegates to receive a score of 0 percent on the annual Maryland League of Conservation Voters scorecard.
