George Wallace Grayson, Jr. (July 23, 1938 – March 4, 2015) was an American academic and politician from Virginia who represented the Historic Triangle area (Williamsburg, James City County, York County) part-time in the House of Delegates for more than a quarter century, as well as taught Government at the College of William & Mary.
[4] During most of his time at William & Mary, Grayson represented the Williamsburg and surrounding counties in the Virginia House of Delegates, a part-time position.
First running for political office as a Democrat in 1971, Grayson lost to fellow lawyer and legislative veteran Russell M. Carneal, who had represented the area since 1954.
The district number changed several times during Grayson's tenure, at first because of various legal decisions requiring apportionment under the constitutional "one man-one vote" standard, and later because of census results.
He became known for his advocacy of consumer rights and education, and also thwarted a proposed sale of state lands surrounding the college to build a prison.
