Biography of Roy L. Ray
Roy L. Ray spent much of his career serving the City of Akron. He began his career as a research analyst at the City of Akron
Service Department in 1969. He became Deputy Service Director in 1971 and was appointed Public Utilities Commissioner in
1973. Ray became Budget Director in 1975 and then Finance Director in 1977. In 1980 he launched a successful campaign to
become Mayor of Akron, where he served until 1984. During his administration Ray oversaw economic development in downtown
Akron, including projects such as the Lock II park and condominiums, the Y-Bridge and plans for refurbishing the O'Neals building.
Ray's administration saw the reformation of county government from a board of county commissioners to an elected county executive.
After losing his bid for a second term as mayor in 1983, Ray went on in 1986 to campaign for and win a seat in the Ohio Senate.
