Craig Simons
for Mayor
Working for Strong Families, a Prosperous Midway, and a Promising Future
“Let’s keep Midway, Midway — for your children and grandchildren, and ours.”
welcome
I’m Craig Simons, and I’m running to be your next mayor. I believe in honest leadership, respectful dialogue, and policies that preserve what makes Midway unique while preparing us for a stronger tomorrow.
Midway is more than a place — it’s a feeling. Those who live and raise families here know its spirit deeply.
On the Issues
Midway is a wonderful place to live — but like many rural communities, we face both opportunities and challenges. The 2024 Utah State University Wellbeing Survey shows what we value most and the issues we must address.
What Residents Value
Family Life & Safety
Midway residents rated community wellbeing at 4.0 out of 5, and personal wellbeing at 4.2 — both well above average in the survey.
Recreation & Nature
Trails, parks, open spaces, and connection to nature ranked high in wellbeing.
Small-Town Spirit
People love Midway’s character, neighborliness, and rural charm.
The Challenges Before Us
Growth That Feels Too Fast
Many residents said population growth is happening more quickly than they’re comfortable with.
Open Space & Green Space
Ranked as the top concern for Midway families.
Traffic & Transportation
Complaints about travel time, costs, and lack of adequate routes are widespread.
Water Quality & Supply
Critical to life here — and under increasing pressure.
Craig’s Leadership, Craig’s Solutions
Midway is at a crossroads. With your support, we can guide growth responsibly, protect what we love, and build opportunity for every family.
Preserve Open Space
Smart Growth (Not Fast Growth)
Advocate for balanced development that respects property owners and fits Midway’s character.
Better Transportation
Collaborate on solutions to reduce travel burdens, expand routes, and improve connectivity.
Water Security
Economic Opportunity
Foster tourism and business growth that align with Midway’s values, not at odds with them.
Transparency & Accountability
Make town governance more accessible — open communication, public forums, and inclusion.
About Craig & Nancy
I’m first a husband, father, and grandfather. My wife Nancy and I have been married for 42 years, and together we are proud to have raised five children and rejoice in 12 grandchildren. We’ve called Midway home for 14 years, drawn here by its beauty, integrity, and community spirit.
My journey started in Southern California. After serving a mission in Birmingham, England, I began a career in technology in Silicon Valley. Over time, I branched into retail ownership, custom homebuilding, and manufacturing operations. Today, I manage a local business that brings jobs, revenue, and tourism to our valley.
But life isn’t only about business. It’s about service, and over the years, it has been my honor to:
- Serve as a Midway City Councilman and Planning Commissioner
- Devote seven years to the Midway Boosters, including serving as President
- Serve in Swiss Day leadership for over a decade, including as Chair in 2024 and 2025
- Serve on the Heber Valley Tax Advisory Board
- Volunteer as a Scout leader and youth mentor
Nancy, too, has devoted decades of service in youth leadership and community development. We believe in giving back — it’s core to who we are.
I am running for mayor to serve you.
What I Stand For
My campaign is not about me — it’s about us. With your support, I will approach every challenge knowing: Midway is your city, your government, and your voice matters.

Making data-driven decisions that reflect local values

Open government where transparency is the norm, not the exception
