James Robert "JB" Akers II is an American politician from West Virginia. [1] He is a Republican and represents District 55 in the West Virginia House of Delegates since 2024.

Akers is a graduate of Wake Forest University and West Virginia University. [2] In 2024, Governor Jim Justice appointed Akers to fill the vacancy created by Moore Capito. [3]

In 2025, Akers amended West Virginia Senate Bill 456 to permit medical professionals “to visually or physically examine a minor child for purposes of verifying the biological sex of the child without the consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.” which was removed by a subsequent amendment before the bill was passed.
