Gary Adams

For the past 6 years I’ve had the privilege to serve you on the City Council. My commitment from the beginning was one thing...to make Newcastle a safe and comfortable environment for our families. With nothing to gain from my service except providing our families with a quality environment to live and grow in I’ve dedicated myself to listening, to forwarding your issues, to holding the line on a "bloated" bureaucracy, to holding taxes below what we’d have had with the County, and to providing a forum for any citizen of Newcastle to know their voice can be heard. My commitment remains the same...the 3 C’s...community, communication, commitment. I pledge to work hard to keep Newcastle a community you’re proud to live in, to always look for opportunities to hear from you, and to maintain the commitment to strive for a safe City for our families.

I am running for the Newcastle City Council position because this is the community we have chosen to raise our family. I believe I can make a difference as our city moves forward and faces both fiscal and growth challenges over the next four years.

With my diverse business background I am committed to making our city run more efficiently and effectively. In order to meet our future goals I believe that the members of the City Council along with City Management and staff need to be accountable for keeping budgets balanced and meeting set timelines.

Over the past 7 years I have had the pleasure of serving as a member of the Meadowview Park Homeowners Assoc., Apollo PTA, Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and The YMCA Father/Daughter program. My wife Julie and I have three children and reside in the neighborhood of Meadowview Park.
