Gregg served in the Assembly as Republican Conference Leader from 2004 to 2006, was the Majority Whip from 1998 to 1999 and the Assistant Majority Whip from 1996 to 1998. He served in the Assembly on the Human Services Committee and the Labor Committee.
After nearly 40 years in the New Jersey Legislature — making him the longest-serving legislator in New Jersey history — Robert Littell announced on March 6, 2007, that he would not seek reelection to the New Jersey Senate and would retire from office at the end of 2007. Republican Freeholder Steve Oroho and Assemblyman Guy R. Gregg both announced that they would pursue the Republican nomination for Littell's Senate seat in the June 2007 primary. Gregg lost the primary election to Steve Oroho, who was backed by the well-known and Republican favorite Littell family.
