Education

Mississippi State University, BS

Charles "Greg" Gregory Davis was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and has lived most of his life in DeSoto County, Mississippi, which borders Memphis. He graduated in 1989 from Mississippi State University with a degree in civil engineering.

Davis served in the Mississippi House of Representatives from mid-1990 until July 1997; he served as an independent until his final year in the Legislature, when he became a Republican. Davis resigned from the House when he was elected mayor of Southaven, as a Republican.

Davis is the GOP nominee in north Mississippi's 1st Congressional District in 2008. Republican Roger Wicker first won the seat in November 1994. When Trent Lott of Mississippi resigned from the U.S. Senate in December 2006, Gov. Haley Barbour, a fellow Republican, chose Wicker to temporarily fill Lott's Senate seat. (Wicker is on the November 2008 ballot seeking election for the final four years of the Senate term.) Wicker's departure from the House created an opening in the 1st Congressional District.

Davis and his wife, Suzann, have three children.
