Greg Cook grew up in Florence, Alabama. From an early age, his parents instilled in him faith, the value of hard work, and the importance of service. Inspired by President Ronald Reagan, it didn’t take long for Greg to discover his passion for the conservative, optimistic principles of President Reagan’s shining city on a hill.

After high school, Greg attended Duke University on an Air Force ROTC scholarship and then served our country in the Air Force, reaching the rank of Captain.

Greg has also served on the Alabama Republican Party for almost 15 years including the past 4 years as General Counsel for the Alabama Republican Party.

During his nearly 30 years of service to the Republican Party, Greg has tried election law cases, conducted a recount and handled election disputes in numerous counties across Alabama (beginning in 1992). As general counsel, he is the party’s lead attorney and a member of the Alabama Republican Party Steering Committee. In 2020, Greg was elected as a delegate for President Trump to the Republican National Convention and selected to serve on the Credentials Committee at the convention.
