J. M. Whorton

J. M. "Jim" Whorton is the owner of an automobile sales business and a sitting Democratic member of the Missouri House of Representatives. He resides with his wife, Beverly, in Trenton, Missouri.

He was born in southwestern Grundy County, Missouri, and graduated from Trenton High School. He went on to Trenton Junior College, and received a B.S. degree in agriculture from the University of Missouri. He continued with post-graduate work there and at the University of Minnesota. He also served nine years with the United States Air National Guard and Reserves.

He is a member of the Wesley United Methodist Church, Trenton Masonic Lodge #111, Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Rifle Association, the American Legion, the Elks Lodge, and the Missouri and Grundy County Farm Bureaus.

He was first elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in a special election in 2001, and won re-election in 2002, 2004, and 2006. He currently serves on a special committee on General Laws, as well as the following standing committees:
*Agriculture Policy
*Appropriations - Agriculture and Natural Resources
*Budget
*Veterans.

Mr. Whorton will not run for reelection to the Missouri House in 2008 due to term limits. He was considering a run for lieutenant governor early on, but later dropped the idea when his campaign failed to gain the grassroots support he was hoping for. After State Senator Brad Lager announced that he would seek the office of state treasurer, Whorton expressesd interest in running for the 12th district senate seat. [2]
