Adina Flores, an activist and a self-proclaimed "civil rights" advocate with a colorful social media presence, is endorsing Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the state’s 4th Congressional District.
The endorsement itself, which focuses on Jones’ promises to combat women’s sexual exploitation, is nothing out of the ordinary. But Flores’ Facebook, Instagram and Substack pages are full of eccentric content that frames political issues as a conflict between race, sexual orientation and secretive sources of influence. The endorsement raises questions for Jones, who has met with Flores multiple times according to social media clips, about whether he agrees with Flores’ views.
In one video, posted to Facebook, Flores stated she believed part of California, Sonoma County, was run by Jews.
"But we’re literally run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists in Sonoma County. The Jews still run the world. That’s where we’re at," Flores said. "All our money gets sent to Israel, but nobody wants to talk about that."

"Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges," Flores said in an August Facebook post.
"Santa Rosa City Schools is always recruiting for little gay communists. Help save public school enrollment decline by sending your child off to liberal prison indoctrination centers," she said in another post earlier this year.
When asked about Flores' comments online, Jones' campaign said he condemns prejudice towards the Jewish community.
"I firmly condemn any and all hate toward our Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. It has no place in our district. My wife is Jewish, we are raising our kids in a Jewish household, I'm a fierce advocate for our public schools and educators, and I have zero tolerance for hateful commentary toward my neighbors or my family," a campaign spokesperson said in a comment to Fox News Digital.
Beyond her comment about Jews, in much of her content, Flores bashes what she sees as efforts to indoctrinate kids in LGBTQ+ ideology through control over institutions like schools and local government.
"I wasn’t doing any of the wokeness. I stood up for conservative parents. So right now, look at this pride indoctrination. I’m not trying to be mean, but who made this logo? They got all the rainbow mafia colors, and it looks like a p-nis," Flores said, holding up a design made by a local school.
The image depicts a tree on top of a hill, illustrated in rainbow colors.
"Like literally that’s where we’re at. So, I’m sorry that’s f---ing cracked out. If your child is in public school, please remove them because they’re going to be gay and r-tarded. Thank you, Santa Rosa schools," Flores said.
Flores' criticisms, usually couched in similar language, cut across both parties.
"Every day my Instagram algorithm is filled with reels of Democrats and Republicans arguing back and forth deciding who is more gay and r-tarded even though they are two sides of the same bird [sic]," Flores said.
"The real puppet master, as always, the Freemasons. This is not a conspiracy. And that is who is pulling the narrative of both sides — red and blue."
Flores recounted that she was once a government employee but was forced out of the role and is banned from serving in public roles again.
"I got started in my activism because I am a former government employee. I’m a whistleblower who was forced out of the government."
Flores said she was removed over COVID-19 mask mandates and the information that was being shared with parents.
For his own part, Jones has centered his campaign around issues like affordability, government transparency and protecting government-run programs.
On his website, Jones has listed three main priorities: ending corruption, lowering the cost of living and resource sustainability in government. His stances have attracted endorsements from progressive groups like Indivisible and Our Revolution, organizations with ties to progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Throughout his campaign, Jones has highlighted his family’s struggle with financial stability. He grew up in a military family and had a disabled father. According to Jones, the family also struggled to overcome medical debt, relying on Medicaid and food stamps.
In her endorsement of Jones, which she made shortly after the resignation of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Flores praised Jones’ promise to be a voice for survivors of sexual misconduct. Swalwell, a prominent California Democrat, surrendered his office after several women accused him of unwanted sexual advances, allegations that he denied.

"Thank you for being one of the only candidates — and this is insane because you’re not even in office yet, but you’re talking about this very critical issue, so God bless you, brother," Flores said.
After Fox News Digital reached out to Flores, who has over 144,000 followers on Instagram, for comment, she posted a video response on Instagram dismissing the inquiry and saying she was a "private citizen" and that her social media accounts are "not monetized."
"My views are mine & mine alone. I am an unpaid advocate & have never been paid to support a political candidate," her post said. "I am highly against the two-party system. If I feel someone is a good fit for office, I support them. F--- your gangs! It’s really that simple!"
