WELCOME… Timm Quinn

CEO, Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce

On behalf of the 121 year old Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce welcome to State of the City 2022!

We are excited to be holding our first IN PERSON State of the City event since 2019 at the beautiful Port of Stockton. It has been a challenging few years but we have made it through and are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today let us celebrate the Port of Stockton as one of the biggest economic engines in the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. We are blessed to have this inland seaport in our backyard.

We all need to take the time to step back and recognize the positive progress this City and its citizens have made, and I ask you to become a part of these successes. Working together we can accomplish so much more than we can on our own.

Please enjoy your day and I hope you meet many like-minded Stocktonians, learn more about this great City, and are inspired to get out there and make a difference.

BUILD. CREATE. INNOVATE.

Kevin J. Lincoln II Mayor City of Stockton

Mayor Kevin J. Lincoln was elected to office in November 2020. He is serving his first term as Mayor of Stockton beginning January 2021.

Born in Stockton, Mayor Lincoln was raised in an Army family and was inspired to serve others. Throughout his youth, Kevin served in many community outreach programs providing food and clothes to the homeless and those in need. Kevin also volunteered at the California Youth Authority where he spoke to and encouraged youth in the juvenile justice system.

With a desire to serve his Country, Kevin joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in 2001 and began his training at the military police academy. Kevin was later recruited by the White House Military Office and assigned to Marine One, where he would serve President George W. Bush.

Following his service in the military, Kevin worked for one of the nation’s top private security companies for eight years in the Silicon Valley. He would ultimately serve as District Manager, responsible for an annual budget of over 55 million, a district support staff of 22 personnel, and a total employee base of over 1300.

In 2013 Kevin felt the desire to resign his corporate position to serve the community of Stockton through full-time ministry at a local church. In his ministry work, Kevin served as the Executive Administrative Pastor overseeing the finances, implementation of the vision, daily operations, as well as community outreach initiatives. Kevin gets the most fulfillment by assisting those in need and helping them find the resources that will aid them and give them hope.

Kevin’s decision to run for mayor stemmed from this love of people, and desire to serve the City of Stockton. Mayor Lincoln believes Stockton is a city of potential, promise, hope, and healing. He will focus on the fundamental needs of the community and build bridges of trust to address and resolve issues including homelessness, public safety, civic engagement, and economic development.

Kevin has an Associates of Arts in Business, Bachelor of Science in Business Management, and a Master’s Degree In Executive Leadership.

Kevin and his wife Bonnie have been married for 19 years and have two wonderful children.
