The longest-serving of Jersey’s most recent set of politicians, when Simon Crowcroft was first elected to the States Assembly in November 1996, the Spice Girls were topping the UK singles chart and Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle United were atop the English Premier League.
After two terms as a deputy in St Helier Number 2, Crowcroft became the parish’s constable in December 2001.
He has since been re-elected to the role a further six times (2004, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2022).
Throughout his 30-year political career, he has served on a number of different panels and committees, from Planning and Environment to Tourism, Privileges and Procedures to Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny.
But it was not until November 2023, in the final days of Kristina Moore’s premiership, that Crowcroft accepted a role in government.
He has since served in Lyndon Farnham’s government as an assistant chief minister and as assistant infrastructure minister.
