Bob Gray Announces Campaign for U.S. Congress: January 30, 2017 – Johns Creek-based Technology Executive and International Business Leader, Bob Gray announces his campaign for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District today. “We have a narrow window of opportunity to affect real change in America. President Trump is going to need willing partners in Congress to make that happen”, said Bob Gray. “While the political elite is obsessed with serving their own interests, the American people are ready for business leaders who can deliver results in Washington. After being blessed with three decades of success in the private sector, I’m ready to serve my country and community in Congress.
”As a business executive, Bob has worked with dozens of Fortune 500 and private equity
companies across a range of industries.
His responsibilities have taken him to nearly 30 countries including China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, and the UK. As an investor in technology businesses, Bob serves on the board of directors of Ammacore, an Alpharetta-based North American network solutions company. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Purdue University and studying Accounting at the University of Illinois, Bob earned a Masters in Business Administration in Finance from the University of Chicago. Bob is married to his high school sweetheart, Susanne. The Grays raised their four children - Madeline, Marshall, Savannah and Allie - in Johns Creek, Georgia where they currently reside. They're active members at Passion City Church where they serve in a variety of volunteer positions. “Having first met at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church, Tricia and I have known Bob and Susanne for 15 years now. Bob brings just the right intellect and ability to root out government overspending and waste. He’s a Donald Trump ally with the demeanor of Mike Pence and the resume of David Perdue.” – State Rep. Brad Raffensperger (R-Johns Creek)
