Chauncey Klugh 'Greg' Gregory is a former Republican member of the South Carolina Senate, representing the 16th District since 1992. In January 2008 he announced his retirement at the end of that year.^[1] Gregory re-ran for the District sixteen seat in 2011 after it was vacated by Congressman Mick Mulvaney. He was re-elected after winning the five-way Republican primary outright, garnering seventy percent of the vote. This made history in South Carolina, as it was the first-five way primary where no run-off was needed. Gregory's current term expires in January, 2013. His current committees are Fish, Game and Forestry, Rules, Judiciary, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Corrections and Penology.

Gregory represents Lancaster and York Counties and resides in the city of Lancaster. He was instrumental in ridding the state of video poker and is currently working toward restructuring the state government, to give the Governor more power, and therefore, greater accountability for the successes and failures of the state. He is the former chairman of the senate Fish, Game and Forestry committee, which, among other things, oversees the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

In 2009, Gregory was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina by South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. His term was to expire in 2012; however, he had to resign upon his re-election to the Senate.
