MEET ROBB
A trusted voice for Kentucky's 47th Representative District
Robb Adams, a candidate for State Representative in the 47th District (Carroll, Henry, Owen, and Trimble counties), has a rich history rooted in the values of hard work and community service. Born as one of five children in a family deeply connected to the land, Robb’s upbringing in Owen County’s Monterey community laid the foundation for his enduring commitment to public service.
​
Robb’s early life was shaped by the agricultural endeavors of his father, who successfully attained a home and farm raising tobacco, sheep, and hogs. This environment instilled in him a strong work ethic and an appreciation for rural life. At 16, he took his first steps into community service by joining the Monterey Volunteer Fire Department as a junior firefighter. This early experience was pivotal, kindling a lifelong dedication to helping others.
​
In 1989, Robb graduated from Owen County High School. He continued the family tradition of tobacco farming for nearly half a decade. However, his path soon took a turn toward emergency services. Driven to serve his community in a different capacity, Robb entered EMT school, becoming a certified EMT in May 1996. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one dedicated to emergency response and medical care.
​
His journey didn’t stop there. He furthered his expertise by obtaining a paramedic license from the Emergency Response Educator’s program. His career in the fire and EMS service spanned a remarkable 25 years, a testament to his unwavering commitment to public safety and health. In December 2021, Robb retired from this role, but his dedication to public service has not waned.
​
Now in his third term as Mayor of Carrollton and a candidate for State Representative, Robb Adams brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and needs of his community. His journey from a junior firefighter in a small Kentucky community to a public figure striving for state representation embodies the spirit of dedication, service, and community commitment. His life story is not just a personal narrative but a reflection of the values he aims to uphold in his public service endeavors.
