Danielle Lynn Adams (September 24, 1983 – December 9, 2021) was a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in the 2019 Manitoba general election.[1] She represented the electoral district of Thompson as a member of the New Democratic Party of Manitoba.
Prior to her election to the provincial legislature, she worked as a constituency assistant to Niki Ashton, the federal New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Churchill—Keewatinook Aski. Adams was the first woman to represent Thompson as an MLA.[2]
On December 9, 2021, Adams died at the age of 38 in a motor vehicle crash while driving south to Winnipeg on Manitoba Highway 6 after her SUV collided with a northbound semi-truck, 50 kilometres south of Ponton, Manitoba.[3][4][5]
