Herbert C. Adams (born c. 1955)[1] is an American historian, politician, and journalist from Maine. A Democrat, Adams was a member of the Portland School Committee from 1997–2004. He represented the Portland neighborhoods of East Bayside and Parkside in the Maine House of Representatives. He is also a noted historian of local history, having published Bold Vision: the History of the Portland Park System in 2000.[2]
In 2010, term limits prevented him from seeking re-election, and the district he represented, 119, was won by independent Ben Chipman. In 2012, Chipman won re-election, turning back Adams' attempt to regain the seat, 1,884 to 1,272. A third contender in the race, Republican Gwendolyne Tuttle, received 317 votes.[3]
He is an instructor in history at Southern Maine Community College.[4]
He was educated at the University of Southern Maine and John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[1]
