Kentucky’s 86th Secretary of State, Michael G. Adams (@KYSecState) will be speaking to the Rotary Club of Florence (@FlorenceRotary) on Monday, May 1, 2023, about responsibilities of the office of the Secretary of State, improvements which have been made to the election process and future enhancements which are being pursued.
Mr. Adams attended McCracken County Public Schools and was the first in his family to get a bachelor’s degree. After graduating from the University of Louisville, he attended Harvard Law School on low-income aid. Returning to Kentucky, he served as Deputy General Counsel to Governor Ernie Fletcher, before moving to Washington to accept an appointment as Counsel to the U.S. Deputy Attorney General in the second Bush administration.
In 2007, Mr. Adams began full-time private practice in election law, first as General Counsel to the Republican Governors Association, and later opening a national practice in the field. He has represented several national political committees, numerous national political figures, and statewide campaign efforts in all 50 states.
Inaugurated as Secretary of State on January 6, 2020, Mr. Adams first pushed his signature legislative issue, Kentucky’s first Photo ID to Vote law, through the General Assembly, then pivoted to saving the primary and general elections from the problems that befell other states during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Adams presented state legislators with the most ambitious election reform plan since 1891, and the bill passed both chambers with near-unanimous support.
