Adam John Marshall (born 4 September 1984), an Australian politician, is the New South Wales Minister for Tourism and Major Events and the Assistant Minister for Skills since January 2017 in the Berejiklian government. Marshall is a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, and has represented Northern Tablelands since a 2013 by-election, as a member of the National Party of Australia.
Marshall received his elementary education whilst attending Gunnedah South Public School before completing his secondary studies at Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School where he earned the higher school certificate. In his final year he was voted by his peers as the "person most likely to be Australian Prime Minister", which is a prediction he is also said to have made as a youth, to fellow students on the school bus.
Elected to Gunnedah Shire Council in 2004, aged 19, Marshall became deputy mayor and then mayor of Gunnedah, an office his father once held, after the 2008 local government elections. During his time as Mayor, Marshall served as president of the Country Mayors' Association and Senior Vice-President of the Shires Association of NSW. Marshall moved to Armidale in 2012, resigning from the Council, and commenced studying commerce at the University of New England, prior to his endorsement as a candidate for the 2013 by-election held following the sudden resignation of Richard Torbay in March as the National's candidate for the federal electoral district New England and state member for Northern Tablelands, amid allegations of corruption.
Marshall was the National's endorsed candidate to replace the outgoing member, and he would claim victory on the night having receiving over 60% of the vote, subsequently being declared the winner with a margin of more than 30%.
