Paul Akinjo (D) is a pastor, Alameda County support technician, and has been a Lathrop City Councilman for seven years. He is the only Democrat in this race. While we do not have sufficient information about this candidate to confirm his viability, we recommend supporting Akinjo as a more progressive alternative to the current incumbent, Heath Flora (R).
Akinjo is an immigrant who came to the U.S. from Nigeria in the 1980s and has lived in Lathrop since 2001. During Akinjo’s time on the Lathrop City Council, the city has gone from no financial reserves to $10 million in savings as its seen growth in housing and business. Akinjo has advocated in Sacramento on homelessness, housing, natural disasters, water and transportation. If elected, Akinjo would focus on transportation funding, mental healthcare, and housing.
Assemblymember Heath Flora has represented District 12 in the State Assembly since 2016. Based on our Courage Score analysis, Flora has shown that he does NOT advocate for the needs of constituents or face down corporate lobbyists and interest groups that exploit Californians. He scored a 2 out of 100 on this year’s Courage Score, our annual analysis of a legislator's progressive voting records. In summary, Assemblymember Flora is not serving his constituents with progressive solutions.
According to our analysis, Paul Akinjo has the potential to provide stronger progressive leadership in office.

CA Prop 13
This proposition would provide $9 billion for desperately needed renovations to public preschools and grade schools throughout the state, and $6 billion for construction to community colleges, the Cal State system, and the UC system.
