Ryan Adams is the Grassroots Coordinator for the Leadership Institute.

Prior to the 2010 election cycle, Ryan served as a Victory Field Representative for the Alabama Republican Party. Ryan was embedded with the Wayne Parker for Congress campaign and oversaw the implementation of the grassroots strategy.
