December 6, 2025 – Montgomery, Ala. — Jasmyne L. Crimiel, a lifelong Montgomery resident, prosecutor, educator, and tireless advocate for children and families, announced her candidacy for the Alabama House of Representatives in District 74 today.
Born and raised in Montgomery, Crimiel brings a deep personal commitment to the people of her community. A proud graduate of Tuskegee University with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, she went on to earn her Juris Doctor from the Thomas Goode Jones School of Law at Faulkner University in 2017.
After law school, Crimiel chose a path of service—first as a Deputy District Attorney in Montgomery County, and now as a prosecutor in the Attorney General’s Criminal Trials Division, where she handles some of the state’s most sensitive and critical cases.
“For my entire career, I have fought for the most vulnerable among us,” Crimiel said. “Whether it’s a child facing abuse, a victim of sexual assault, or a family torn apart by domestic violence, the people of this community deserve a voice and an advocate who will stand up for them. I’m running for the State House to continue that work on a larger scale and ensure our laws protect all Alabamians.”
In her current role, Crimiel prosecutes special victims’ cases involving child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence—a responsibility she calls both “an honor and a calling.” Her firsthand experience with crime victims, families in crisis, and the gaps in state policy has shaped her priorities for stronger public safety measures, improved victim services, and greater accountability in government.
Beyond the courtroom, Crimiel is known throughout Montgomery for her passion for community engagement. She regularly speaks to middle and high school students about higher education, gun violence prevention, and sexual assault awareness. Recognizing the need for strong female role models, she founded Girls on Fire, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring and empowering young girls to reach their fullest potential.
Crimiel’s civic and professional leadership is extensive. She serves as a member of the Sexual Assault Task Force, sits on the Board of the Alabama Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and is an Executive Board Member of the Mayor’s Young Professional Council. She is also a member of the Junior League of Montgomery, teaches criminal law as an adjunct professor at Alabama State University, and is an active and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
“Montgomery deserves leaders who not only talk about service—but live it every day,” Crimiel added. “I’ve worked side by side with families, students, and survivors across this district. I understand the challenges we face, and I want to bring real solutions to the State House that uplift our children, strengthen our communities, and expand opportunities for all.”
Crimiel’s campaign will focus on strengthening public safety, expanding educational opportunities, supporting working families, empowering youth, and bringing principled, community-driven leadership back to District 74.
