I am Tim Gray and I would like to announce my candidacy for re-election as Chancery Clerk of Simpson County. When I began this journey, I set out to reach as many Simpson Countians as I could. My goal was to introduce myself and answer whatever question arose about the office and my intentions. I was fortunate to meet many people who have supported me and helped to elect me as Chancery Clerk. I will be forever grateful!
The election last December was to fill the remainder of the term left after Mr. Tommy Joe Harvey retired early in 2022. Therefore, I was sworn into office on December 9, 2022 and qualified to run again on January 2 2023, about 3 weeks later.
I have lived in Simpson County most of my life. I attended Mendenhall High School along with my brothers Lavon and Duran and my sister Paige. My parents Paul Gray and Melissa “Nita” Berry Russum and my grandparents Mr. WC Thames & Mrs. Maggie Winningham Thames made sure that we learned to honor our Lord and instilled solid moral values in each of us. We spent a lot of time at Main Street Baptist Church in Mendenhall where I came to know the Lord in a special way and gave my life to HIM at the age of 13. I have been married to Donna Guess Gray, originally from Georgetown, MS for 30 years and we have been blessed with two wonderful daughters Mackenzie Gray (26) and Macie Gray (21).
I have been involved in local government for about 18 years. I served as Alderman at Large for the City of Mendenhall for 14 years. I have also been blessed to serve in different capacities on many committees, boards, and affiliations over the years. In these roles I have been very successful in helping the teams that I work with to define the challenges and draft plans to achieve their goals.
As Chancery Clerk, I have tried to lead with integrity, honesty, and dependability that would make all citizens of Simpson County proud. I humbly ask that you to allow me to continue serving you by casting your vote for Tim Gray on November 7th!
