InfoGregg Harper has been a resident of Mississippi’s Third Congressional District since 1972. He and his wife of twenty-eight years, Sidney, live in Pearl. Gregg and Sidney have been blessed with two children, Livingston, 18, and Maggie, 16, both of whom attend Pearl High School where they are active in school organizations.

Gregg’s Christian faith is a very important part of who he is. Gregg is a member of Crossgates Baptist Church where he is a deacon and a college Sunday School teacher. Gregg sees his role as a father and husband as the two most important priorities in his life. He is also passionate about ministering to those less fortunate and has worked to help families in need in his local community. As chair of the Crossgates Baptist Church Hurricane Katrina relief effort, Gregg helped to distribute money and supplies to those devastated by the storm.

Gregg Harper graduated from Mississippi College in 1978 with a degree in Chemistry and from the University of Mississippi Law School in 1981. Gregg has been an attorney for over twenty-six years and currently serves as the prosecuting attorney for the cities of Brandon and Richland.

Gregg has been an active volunteer for the Republican Party. He served as the Republican Chairman of Rankin County, the largest Republican County in Mississippi, for almost eight years. Gregg is also a member of the state Republican Executive Committee, having served for eight years, and has worked tirelessly in the campaigns of local candidates as well as Mississippi’s Republican Governors, Republican Senators, and Republican Congressmen.

Gregg served as a delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention and volunteered as a Republican Observer in the Bush-Gore recount in West Palm Beach, Florida. He also served as a Republican Representative on the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Election Task Force in 2001 and authored a Minority Report in support of Voter Identification.

Gregg was the Rankin County chair for Chief Justice Jim Smith’s re-election to the Mississippi Supreme Court in 2000, and served on the campaign Steering Committee for Congressman Chip Pickering and for Lt. Governor-Elect Phil Bryant.

Gregg Harper served as the 2007 “Get Out the Vote” chair for Rankin County. His leadership resulted in the county having the highest percentage turnout of registered voters and highest number of Republican voters in the State of Mississippi.

Gregg is not only committed to his state, but also to his local community and to his children’s school. He is an active member of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce and the Rankin County Chamber of Commerce.

Gregg Harper loves his state and his country. He will work tirelessly to represent Mississippi with honor and dignity in the United States House of Representatives, and will help to restore conservative values in our nation’s capital.
