James David Matheson (born March 21, 1960) is an American politician who served as a United States Representative from Utah from 2001 to 2015. He represented Utah's 2nd district from 2001 to 2013 and its 4th district from 2013 to 2015 as a member of the Democratic Party. While in office, he was Utah's only congressional Democrat, and his district was one of the most Republican-leaning districts to be represented by a Democrat.[1]
On December 17, 2013, Matheson announced he would not seek reelection in the 2014 elections.[2] There was speculation that Matheson, a moderate Democrat, might run in 2016 for Governor of Utah or for the Utah U.S. Senate seat coming open then, but this did not happen.[3] In 2015, he joined the law firm of Squire Patton Boggs as a lobbyist.[4] On June 13, 2016, he was named the CEO of National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, a trade organization for rural electric cooperatives,[5] and on July 19, 2016, he succeeded fellow former Representative Jo Ann Emerson as CEO.[6]
