James E. (Jim) Crismon (D)

Running for Utah House District 57 – Utah County

“Partisan politics MUST end. Utah needs a two-party system and a return to the middle of the political spectrum.”

Jim was well supported at the Democratic Party Caucus on 23-March-2010, and is very enthusiastic about bringing a more moderate voice to the forefront - supporting not only individual rights, but also personal responsibility.

He brings 35 years of experience as an employee in state government, and has experience in resolving difficult and sensitive issues. He believes that government can’t be everything to everyone, and that we need to find the common middle ground that IS there but is too often obscured by special interests and “good old boy” politics.

Jim has lived in Pleasant Grove for 30 years, and in Utah since 1958. He is deeply rooted in this community, and in our common values. All of his children live along the Wasatch Front, and they have inherited his love for this place.

“I will work with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to achieve a balance in politics and civility in our law making process. I will be THE voice of the silent majority in my district, not the voice of the vocal minority. That’s where the balance is.”

“Keep in mind that I’ve been married for 40 years to a registered Republican that taught at a very conservative private school – and we are still happily married. We know something about finding the balance!”

Jim is not a man of many words and blustery speeches. There is work that needs to be done. He will get it done with your help. All he needs is your vote, and maybe a word from you to your friends and family about him. He will take care of the rest.
