Adam, a first-generation Assyrian American whose parents emigrated from Iraq, focused much of his time in Wednesday’s debate on building more collaboration between city departments and D10 residents to improve services.
During the audience portion of the debate, one resident questioned Adam on a negative attack ad—written in Chinese—that accused Walton of not caring about residents of this community. Adam said a volunteer in his campaign made a mistake in not translating the same campaign message verbatim. He apologized for the error.
The Standard also conducted debates for District 4, District 6 and District 8.
