Julie Marie Raque Adams (born June 11, 1969) is an American businesswoman, politician and a Republican member of the Kentucky Senate representing District 36 since January 1, 2015. She is a former member of the Kentucky House of Representatives and the Louisville Metro Council.

Adams was born in Louisville, Kentucky. She is married to Jim Adams, and is the mother of two sons, James and Joseph.

Adams began her political career by running for the District 18 Seat on the Louisville Metro Council in 2002. According to a 2015 interview, Adams stated that she had chosen to enter politics because, according to her, she wanted a stop sign on her street to protect the school children who crossed the road, but no one listened to her request. She ran unopposed in the 2002 Republican Primary. Adams faced off against Democratic candidate James Baker Sr., as well as Libertarian candidate Sam Cox. The General Election was held on November 5, 2002. Adams won with an overwhelming 70.6% of the vote, or 7,450 of the 11,166 votes cast.[citation needed]

Adams was sworn in for her first term as a Councilwoman on January 1, 2003.

Adams ran for reelection in 2006. Once again, she was unopposed in the Republican primary. In the general election, she faced no Democratic opponent, instead facing off against Libertarian Donna Walker Mancini, the head of the Libertarian Party in Kentucky. The General Election was held on November 2, 2006. Adams easily won a second term, with 83% of the vote.

Adams was sworn in for the second time on January 1, 2005.

On June 17, 2004, Adams was named by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Mike Leavitt to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Local Government Advisory Committee. The committee is made up of thirty-one local government officials from across the country who work to advise the EPA on how environmental policy will affect local governments. Adams served on the committee until her retirement from the Metro Council in 2009.
