Shortly thereafter, she was named Chief of Staff for State Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney. It would be a role she would occupy until 2018 before she decided to again devote her full attention to her personal business, Southern Consulting Associates, Inc.Prior to opening her consulting business, Mrs. Ray served as Executive Director for Boys and Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Delta, Children's Division Liaison for the Office of the Attorney General, and as a Coordinator in the Division of Continuing Education at Delta State University in Cleveland, MS.

  • Sandy Ray has always been a solid political resource for me. She's a hard worker and diligent in seeking successful results. Well respected. - Cindy Hyde-Smith, US Senator
  • A very intelligent, highly motivated, respected, charismatic rain maker. I have called her 'shortstop' since she came to work for me. That nickname is perfect for her because, one, she is short, but really I call her that because there isn't much that gets past her. Sandy will succeed at whatever she sets her mind to. I have no doubt about that. I have seen her decision-making abilities, and she will decide what needs to be done and then go straight ahead to accomplish it. - Mike Chaney, MS Commissioner of Insurance and State Fire Marshal
  • Collaborating with Sandy Ray and her firm to help the Congress of Country Music project seek and secure state bond funds was truly a game changer. She worked so hard for us. She put her heart into the task and I suspect she would do the same for anybody she chose to work with. I have no doubt that we will be calling upon Sandy Ray for years to come. - Marty Stuart, Multiple Grammy Award winner, American Country Music Singer-Songwriter
  • I have known Sandy since she first appeared in our state capitol over 20 years ago. She has worked her way up with integrity. She is absolutely one of the most trustworthy lobbyists and public policy professionals in Mississippi. We have all depended on her knowledge and guidance at some point. I am glad to know her and call her friend. - Willie Simmons, Transportation Commissioner (Central District)
  • I have worked with Sandy for many years in various capacities in state government. She has always been diligent, thorough, and prepared. It is a pleasure to work with her - Philip Gunn, MS Speaker of the House
