Gregory Robert Wallis (born May 15, 1990) [1] is American politician from California serving as a member of the California State Assembly, representing the 47th district.
Wallis was born on May 15, 1990. He studied political science at California Lutheran University and became a district director for assemblymember Chad Mayes in 2014. [2] Prior to becoming a district director for Mayes, he worked as an account executive for Mann Communications and as an executive director of the Inland Empire Taxpayer’s Association. [3]
In February 2022, Wallis announced his candidacy for the newly-redrawn 47th district after Mayes declined to seek re-election.

In April 2023, Holstege announced that she would be running against Wallis. [10] In the primary election, Wallis placed first ahead of Holstege, setting up a rematch of the 2022 election. [11]
