Charles Gregory "Greg" Davis (born February 22, 1966) was the mayor of Southaven, Mississippi, the state's fourth largest city, for sixteen years. He was the Republican Party's nominee for Mississippi's 1st congressional district in the 2008 special and general elections.
Davis was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. Upon graduation, he began a career in engineering]] and consulting. From 1991 until 1997, Davis served on various committees including Appropriations and Public Health.
Davis was elected mayor of Southaven in 1997 and was elected to a third term in 2005. In 2008, he began a campaign to fill the seat of Congressman Roger Wicker, who had been appointed to the U.S. Senate following the resignation of Trent Lott. The initial primary was a three-candidate race which resulted in a primary runoff between Davis and former Tupelo Mayor Glenn McCullough. Davis won the primary runoff and thus he was the Republican candidate in the special election.
