He dropped out of the University of Oregon to work on Peter DeFazio's successful bid for Congress.

In 1988, Adams was elected chair of the Lane County (Oregon) Democratic Party.

In 2005, Adams met Beau Breedlove, a 17-year-old interning for Oregon State Representative Kim Thatcher.
As part of managing the Bureau of Transportation, he inherited the responsibility to oversee the development of the Portland Aerial Tram, which opened to the public in January 2007.
Adams and his staff maintained a blog highlighting their activities in the community, especially pertaining to Adams' priorities such as arts and culture, livability and environment, and transportation.
In October 2007, Adams announced his intentions to run for Mayor of Portland.
His main opponent was Sho Dozono, a civic leader and businessman.
In September 2007, Adams denied rumors of a sexual relationship between the two, saying of Breedlove, "He was looking for a mentor. I tried to be both prudent and useful to him."
In the primary election, held May 20, 2008, Adams won 58 percent of the vote and was elected without the need for a run-off.
Dozono received 34 percent of the vote.

Adams emphasized reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and investment in efficient green energy as essential to the city's energy-environmental goals and called on the Oregon State Legislature to provide incentives for the expansion of green energy companies, notably Vestas Wind Systems, into the Portland metropolitan area.
In January 2009, after being confronted with a story in Willamette Week, Adams admitted to having a sexual relationship with Breedlove.

From 2020 to 2023, he served as director of strategic innovations for the office of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.
