In 1870, Dr. Daniel Lucius Adams was elected to the Connecticut State House of Representatives representing Ridgefield.

From 1701 to 1875, Connecticut had two state capitol buildings and two capital cities: New Haven and Hartford. The General Assembly conducted business in both cities on a rotating schedule until 1875. Therefore, Doc served in both the New Haven and Hartford State Houses.
