Gregory Brian Standridge, known as Greg Standridge (born c. 1967),[1] is an insurance agent from Russellville, Arkansas, who is a Republican member of the Arkansas State Senate for District 16, which includes Newton and Pope counties and parts of Boone, Carroll and Van Buren counties in the northern portion of his state.[2]

Standridge graduated in 1987 with a degree in Business Administration from Arkansas Tech University in Russellville.[1] He has worked in insurance since 1987 and also owns Access Self Storage Company. He is a former constable in Pope County, a volunteer firefighter, and is the president of the Pope County Fair Board. He is affiliated with Lions International and the Masonic lodge. He is a member of the First Baptist Church of Russellville. He and his wife, Karen Sue Standridge (born c. 1966), have four children.[3]

Standridge won a low-turnout special runoff election held on February 10, 2015, to succeed fellow Republican Michael Lamoureux, who resigned in November 2014 to become chief of staff in the new state administration of Governor Asa Hutchinson. Standridge defeated fellow Republican Stan J. Berry (born c. 1954), also of Russellville, 2,675 votes (53.6 percent) to 2,313 (46.4 percent).[2]

Though he was elected in mid-February, Standridge was not allowed to fill the vacant Senate seat until April 2015.[4]
