A Broomfield resident, Gray was a deputy district attorney before taking office. He has also served as vice chair of the Adams County Youth Initiative and chair of the Broomfield Board of Equalization.[1]

DUI arrest
Gray was arrested on April 21, 2022, on suspicion of driving under the influence. Gray was picking up his children, and the arrest took place in front of their elementary school in Broomfield. Gray is a former prosecutor in Colorado's 17th judicial district, the district in which the arrest occurred.[4][5]
Police were called by school officials concerned about Gray's behavior and an odor of alcohol emanating from him. Gray refused to perform field sobriety tests or blood alcohol level tests. Gray denied he was drunk, claiming that he instead was experiencing the effects of anxiety and depression.[6] Gray later pleaded guilty to one count DUI with one year of probation[7] and suspension of driver's license for refusal to blow or provide a blood sample.[8]
