Matt Salmon in the primary. A
few weeks after losing the primary, Adams
became president of Americans for

one of his responsibilities the allocation
of funds and directed $750,000 spent
opposing Arizona Proposition 204 and

given by undisclosed sources via Americans
for Job Security and the Center to Protect
Patient Rights to groups in California who
used the money to oppose California's
Proposition 30 and support the anti-union
Proposition 32. Proposition 30 won and
Proposition 32 was defeated; California's
Attorney General announced considering a
money laundering investigation against
Americans for Responsible Leadership and
