Adams for Congress?

A reader has contacted us with a question about whether former State Senator and Senate President Pro Tem Thurman Adams ever considered or launched a congressional campaign, because he found a button recently saying “Adams for Congress.”

I think I vaguely recall seeing an Adams for Congress button at one point, on the Internet somewhere. But I told our reader that it was most likely from a Return Day celebration in Georgetown, since candidates and official holders “test the waters,” either seriously or as a joke, in “announcing” campaigns for higher office by having supporters wear buttons during the parade and celebration. For example, in 2008, Carney supporters were wearing buttons saying Carney for Congress. So it could be that Thurman Adams did the same thing, as a joke or seriously.

But I will ask you all, the vast hive mind of Delaware political knowledge: did Thurman Adams ever try to run for Congress?
