After three decades as Chief Fire Marshal with the Little Rock Fire Department, Joe Gray is ready to bring that same dedication, discipline, and heart to the City Board.
"From saving lives to serving our community — the mission has always been the same."
After three decades of dedicated service with the Little Rock Fire Department, retiring as Chief Fire Marshal, Joe Gray is ready to bring that same commitment, discipline, and passion to the Little Rock City Board.
Chief Gray's career was built on one principle: protect the people. Now, he is taking that mission to Ward 7, where our community deserves a representative who has spent a lifetime showing up when it matters most.
Chief Gray's passion for public safety is the foundation of his campaign. He is committed to strengthening our fire department, ensuring emergency services remain proactive and innovative, and creating programs that reduce crime and lower recidivism — especially among our youth.
Our roads, utilities, and public spaces are the backbone of daily life in Ward 7. Chief Gray is committed to addressing infrastructure conditions that have gone unresolved for too long. Reliable essential services are not a luxury — they are a right for every resident.
Chief Gray believes the strength of Ward 7 lies in its people. He is committed to meaningful, ongoing engagement with residents — listening, collaborating, and ensuring every voice is heard as we build a stronger neighborhood together.
Joseph Gray is a veteran fire service leader who dedicated 30 years to the Little Rock Fire Department, retiring as Chief Fire Marshal. A proud product of Little Rock Public Schools, he earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Central Arkansas.
Gray later served three sessions as Sergeant-at-Arms for the Arkansas State Senate. He is a devoted husband and the proud father of one son, and a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and remains active in public and community service.
