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 raises questions for Jones, who has met with Flores multiple times according to social media clips, about whether he agrees with Flores’ views.

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.

asserted
Flores → fill → bird
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.
asserted
I → pull → activism
I’m a whistleblower who was forced out of the government."

who → ’m → government
Flores said she was removed over COVID-19 mask mandates and the information that was being shared with parents.
asserted
that → say → 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.

asserted
Flores → thank → you
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."
