David Gene Grimes, II (born June 6, 1953), is an insurance agent in Montgomery, Alabama, who is a Republican former member of the Alabama House of Representatives from District 73 in Montgomery County.
A native of Detroit, Michigan, Grimes graduated in 1974 from Troy State University in Troy, Alabama and entered into the life insurance business in 1981. He and his wife, the former Barbara Calhoun (born 1956), a native of Opelika, Alabama, have two sons: David, III, and Tyler. He is a member and deacon of the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Montgomery. He has coached Little League baseball and served as a board member of the YMCA's Camp Chandler. Grimes is affiliated with both Rotary International and the Lions Club.
In 2002, Grimes challenged the long-term incumbent state Representative, fellow Republican Perry O. Hooper, Jr., son of the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Perry O. Hooper, Sr. Grimes defeated Hooper, 3,582 (52.3 percent) to 3,273 (47.8 percent), and was then unopposed in the general election. Hooper's defeat is attributed in part to a $12,000 fine in 2001 from the Alabama Ethics Commission.
