Greg Ball (politician)

Gregory R. Ball (born September 16, 1977) is a former American politician from 2006 to 2014, former active duty U.S. Air Force officer, and member of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly.

He gained attention for his unorthodox campaign tactics, such as dressing in a chicken suit to follow his opponent and making controversial statements. Ball focused on issues like illegal immigration and veterans' affairs during his time in office. He also took a strong stance against same-sex marriage, supported public funding for private school transportation, and opposed the publication of handgun permit holders' information. Additionally, Ball has been vocal in his opposition to medical marijuana and controversially advocated for the torture of a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

After leaving office, he founded a consulting firm, Black Stone Global.
