About Erin
Erin Jemison is a proven policy leader, nonprofit strategist, and community advocate with more than a decade of experience working at the intersection of public safety, equity, and effective government. Erin is running for House District 34 because we need a representative who will stand up for people who have been overlooked or counted out. Erin was raised in a working-class family and learned early what it feels like to be dismissed or underestimated. She’s spent years making sure the people most impacted by policy decisions aren’t kept out of the conversation, especially when the systems that are supposed to help are leaving people behind.
As Director of Public Policy at the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, Erin works with survivors, service providers, and lawmakers across the political spectrum to strengthen systems so they’re fair, accountable, and responsive. She’s helped deliver major reforms and secure historic investments in community-based services because she believes government should work for people, especially those who need it most.
Our Legislature should be focused on making lives easier for people and solving problems, but instead, they are too often doing the exact opposite: attacking the communities that are the most vulnerable and leaving real issues unaddressed. As our representative, Erin will cut through the noise and focus on real solutions: improving air quality and preserving the Great Salt Lake, investing in public education, protecting vulnerable communities, and managing Utah’s growth so future generations can continue to thrive here.
