The Grandson of Immigrants
Kevin Lincoln’s grandfather, a Mexican Immigrant, came to California in search of opportunity. Settling in South Stockton, he raised a family, became a United States citizen, and instilled in his children and grandchildren a sense of pride for their heritage, community, and country.
Service Instilled
at a Young Age
Born in Stockton, Kevin Lincoln was raised in a military family and was inspired to serve others. Throughout his youth, Kevin volunteered at the California Youth Authority and in Stockton community outreach programs helping homeless residents.
Assigned to Protect
the President on Marine One
Kevin joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in 2001 and began his training at the military police academy. He was later recruited by the White House Military Office and assigned to Marine One, where he would serve the President of the United States.
Faith and Community Service
In 2013, Kevin was called to serve Stockton once again. He resigned his corporate position and joined the ministry, full time, at a local Stockton church. He served as the Executive Administrative Pastor overseeing the finances, implementation of the vision, as well as the daily operations of the church. Many of the groups he works with today are actively involved in assisting the working poor in Stockton.
Business Experience
in the Silicon Valley
Following his military service, Kevin was recruited to work for one of America’s top private security companies in 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 1,300.
Elected Stockton Mayor
In 2019, when Kevin saw his hometown Stockton struggling, he knew he needed to give back. So he ran for Mayor on a vision of hope and healing, and won.
He took the oath of office in 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. He immediately got to work helping the community come together through an unprecedented crisis.
Working
for the Future
Over the years, Kevin has pursued his educational goals while working full-time—earning an Associate of Arts in Business, Bachelor of Science in Business Management, and a Masters Degree in Executive Leadership.
Kevin and his wife Bonnie are blessed with two wonderful children, and have raised them in Stockton.
