Carol Jean Gregory (née Landerholm; born November 10, 1943) is an American educator and politician of the Democratic Party.
[3] Prior to her political career, Gregory was the director of BuRSST for Prosperity, a nonprofit association which works to elevate people out of poverty.
On December 1, 2014, the Washington State Democrats held a nominating convention of 30th District party members in Federal Way, which selected, in order of descending priority: Gregory, local party official Richard Champion, and unsuccessful 2014 State Senate candidate Shari Song as nominees.
In early 2015, Federal Way City Council member and political consultant Martin Moore, who had served as legislative aide to Freeman and previously a Democrat, announced his intention to run for the position as a Republican.
[13] Moore withdrew from the race after local Chamber of Commerce official Teri Hickel announced her candidacy, also as a Republican.
