Rep. Alma Adams, a Democrat who represents the 12th District of North Carolina, wants to tell you and her constituents that, despite the dysfunction that makes the headlines, she and her colleagues have been attending to the people’s business. There are the issues close to her heart, such as affordable health care, closing the maternal health gap for minority moms and providing family care. There is her work supporting historically Black colleges and universities, healthy nutrition programs and more. So, what do we need to know?

Adams joins Equal Time to talk about bipartisan progress, election-year politics and the state of her battleground state.
