Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Carol Adams (born 13 July 1961)[1] is a local government representative from Western Australia.

She was the mayor of the City of Kwinana from 2006 to 2023,[2] when she announced that she would not contest the October 2023 elections.[3] She ran as an independent in the 2008 state election in the newly formed Electoral district of Kwinana. Adams also works as a solicitor for the Western Australian Police Union.[4][5]

Prior to the election, she had twice sought preselection to stand as a Labor candidate, but was overlooked in favour of Roger Cook, a former state party secretary and state manager of public relations firm CPR, which is closely associated with the party.[6] A smear campaign against her by Dave Kelly, State secretary of the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers' Union had been waged in the last week of the election campaign.[6]

While she initially appeared to have narrowly won the seat, further counting revealed she had in fact lost by 300 votes to the Labor candidate Roger Cook.[7] If elected, Adams had been expected to take up the position of Speaker.

In local government, Adams was first elected to the Kwinana Town Council in 1997 and as mayor in 2006.[8] In May 2007, she launched a council backed project called "Looking Forward", aimed at attracting $11.5 billion in private and government sector investment in the next 15 years.[9]
