Kimberly Pope Adams is a lifelong Virginian, born and raised in Hopewell’s “Five Forks” area. The youngest of three daughters, she grew up in a hardworking family—her father was a union worker at a local chemical plant, and her mother was a dedicated crossing guard. As a latchkey kid at just seven years old, she understood early on the challenges working families face. With determination and perseverance, Kimberly earned scholarships to attend Virginia Tech, where she developed a passion for financial accountability. She has since built a career as an Accountant and Auditor, ensuring transparency in state government. Her deep connection to the traditions and culture of the Tri-Cities fuels her passion for service, and that love for her community is the cornerstone of why she’s running to serve the 82nd District.
WHY THIS RACE
After losing by just 53 votes—the tightest Democratic loss of 2023—Kimberly Pope Adams is mounting a strong comeback in Virginia’s 82nd House District. A dedicated public servant and financial expert, she has fought for better schools, safer communities, and reproductive freedom. Winning this seat is essential for Democrats to expand their majority and continue pushing for policies that uplift working families.
WHY VIRGINIA
Democrats must defend our House majority to keep Virginia a firewall against right-wing extremism. With momentum on our side, we can win key swing districts and build power for 2026. We also have a major opportunity to take back the Governor’s office and statewide seats, securing Virginia’s future as a stronghold for democracy.
