Governor of Iowa form 1969 until January, 1982, Ray signed House File 1140 in 1972 that provided for the statutory establishment of a Comission on the Status of Women and required the Governor to appoint a chairperson and then make appointments for the 24-member Commission.

In 1973, an executive Order by the Governor was issued to set a strong state policy on hiring and job discrimination against minorities and women. During the Iowa State Fair in 1975, Ray inducted the first four women into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame. Governor Ray used the state roster of Women compiled by the ICSW to fill vacancies and make appointments to commissions and boards in the state; representation of women went from 14 percent in 1974 to 30 percent by the time he left office.
