Akins won the November 30 runoff election against Jason Hogan, claiming 65% of the 1,321 ballots cast. He succeeds former District 5 Commissioner Tim Stamey who resigned in April for health reasons.

Commissioner Akins is now the third person to hold the seat since Ed Nichols resigned in August 2019.
