Rachel Gray

Rachel Gillean Gray (September 26, 1930 – January 19, 2010) was an American politician.

Life and career

Gray was affiliated with the Democratic Party from her time as a member of the city council of High Point, North Carolina.[1][2][3] As a city councilor, she served as liaison to the High Point Human Relations Commission,[4] and as mayor pro-term.[5][6] Gray began serving as a state legislator in 1977.[7] In her tenure in the North Carolina Senate, during which she represented Guilford County,[8] Gray supported the Equal Rights Amendment.[9] However, Gray protested the lack of legislative process afforded to discussions on its ratification.[10] She lost reelection to Wendell Sawyer during the 1984 state legislative elections.[11] The next year, Gray considered running for the United States Senate, telling The Dispatch, a newspaper that previously reported speculation that she would not run served as "ice thrown on my candidacy."[8] Gray died on January 19, 2010, at the age of 79.[12]
