My name is Greg Grey and I am excited to announce my candidacy to run for another term on the Hull Select Board.

I am 57 years old and was fortunate to grow up in Hull and graduated from Hull High School in 1985. I have lived in Hull for more than 50 years, and I am so proud to be a member of this community. I am happily married to Cheryl Grey; we just celebrated our 33rd anniversary. We have four children: Stacey, Greg, Tyler, and Dylan, and three grandchildren: Leo, Miles, and Hallie, who all live here in town.

My professional experience is 39 years selling pit and quarry processing equipment and parts in New England, New York, and New Jersey. My partners and I have a very successful company named EESSCO in Hanson.

I have been an active member of the community for 35 years. Giving back to the community has been, and will always be, a part of who I am. As my kids were growing up, I served on many youth sports boards, some as board member but many as treasurer, vice president, or president. Those boards were Hull T-Ball, Hull Youth Soccer, Hull Youth Basketball, Hull Youth Football, Hull Youth Baseball, and the Hull Boosters.

Currently, I am the chairman of the select board, as well as the chair of the park and recreation commission, a board member on the Community Preservation Committee, select board liaison to the Council on Aging as well as the No Place for Hate Committee, and president of the Hull High School alumni. Serving on these boards and commissions has been so rewarding with the many great things we have accomplished around town together, impacting so many lives along the way.

For the last six years, I have had the privilege to serve on the select board and have been fortunate to work alongside great men and women on the board who have the same passion I have – and that is to keep Hull moving forward in a positive direction.

We are volunteers who, per the town charter, get a small stipend to serve. We are not politicians. We have accomplished many great things together, but it wasn’t just us that made that happen, and I stress this because we do nothing alone and it’s important for all to know.

The board sets goals, policy, and procedure and strives to be good leaders and listeners. Our town manager, along with department heads and their staff, and all our volunteer boards and commissions, will always be a vital part of all our accomplishments.

Going forward, I will continue to be part of a team that will address our infrastructure, affordable housing, economic development, education for our children, and care for our senior citizens.

I can guarantee you one thing, and that is I will have the same drive and commitment I have always had, doing the absolute best I can for each and every one of you in our beautiful seaside community. It takes a village and I truly believe we can accomplish anything we put our minds together for one common goal.

In closing, I respectfully ask for your support in the upcoming election.
