Jamie Ray Gragg is an American politician serving as a Republican member of the Missouri House of Representatives, representing the state's 140th House district.[1] Gragg is a businessman.[2] In the 2022 Missouri House of Representatives election, Gragg was elected in District 140.[3]

Early life and education

Gragg's family moved to Ozark, Missouri from Los Angeles.[4] He has a degree from Southwest Baptist University.[5]

Prior to entering politics, Gragg worked for Boy Scouts of America in Colorado and at Christian camps in Missouri and Texas, as well as other ministry work. He had long term employment as a character at Silver Dollar City.[5]

Missouri House of Representatives

Gragg opposes abortion, supports barriers to ballot initiatives, believes that childcare should be privatized and that school programs put daycares out of business, says that state oversight and bureaucracy impose on teachers' work and that teachers should be paid more, and supports cutting taxes and reducing regulation.[5]

In 2024, Gragg introduced a bill to criminalize school teachers who support transgender youth as Tier 1 sex offenders. His older brother contacted state LGBTQ advocacy group PROMO to speak out against the bill, which he describes as "hateful and malicious."[4][6]
