Joshua Gray managed the 2019 mayoral campaign of Amara Enyia and in August 2022 was found liable, along with Enyia and three others, for unpaid wages to two dozen campaign employees, according to the Hyde Park Herald. Gray is a political consultant who has previously worked as an aide for Ald. David Moore (17) and as an anti-violence community organizer for the Rev. Michael Pfleger, according to the Herald.

It’s not his first run for political office. In 2018 Gray ran for the Cook County Board of Commissioners in the Democratic Party primary in District 3 following the retirement of Comm. Jerry Butler and finished in fourth place out of seven candidates.
