Since the earliest online report (2014)
Compares the 2014 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. Her first report in the online database covers 2014, the year she took office. Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.
What the latest report lists
| TIAA-CREF Annuity Account | $250K–$500K |
| North Carolina Legislative Retirement System Plan | $15,001–$50,000 |
| Debts | none reported |

Where the money comes from
Main sources named in the disclosures and the reporting we cite. The forms don’t split the total into exact amounts, so we don’t show percentages.
Alma Adams reported household assets minus debts of $265K to $550K, a midpoint of about $408K, on her latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed May 12, 2026).
Alma Adams has represented North Carolina's 12th congressional district since 2014. She is a member of the Democratic Party, a former college administrator and art professor from Greensboro, and is known for her distinctive hats.
Adams represented the 58th district of the North Carolina House, in Guilford County, from her appointment in April 1994 until her election to Congress. In 2014 she won the special election to fill the vacancy left by Mel Watt's resignation, and a full two-year term at the same time.
Her House reports list only a few holdings, mainly a TIAA-CREF annuity account and her North Carolina legislative retirement plan. The value ranges she reports have stayed the same from year to year, and since 2019 she has reported no debts. The only debt on her earlier reports was a mortgage on her primary residence, which we leave out because the home itself is not listed as an asset.
What her 2025 disclosure shows
The report she filed on May 12, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 2 assets with a value, adding up to $265,000 to $550,000.
The report lists no debts that we count, so the range of $265,000 to $550,000 comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $408,000.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of her disclosed range went from about $408,000 on her 2014 report to about $408,000 on her 2025 report. The chart shows twelve reports from 2014 to 2025, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.
These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Adams does not have to report a home she lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so her real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
