TRACY GANT, MAYOR OF EDMONSTON, MARYLAND
On her place of special meaning: If I can be part of a positive outcome for someone, then I’ve done my job. That is seriously from the heart. I want to be part of a positive outcome in your life. I do have a huge passion — a burning passion — to serve and a burning passion for Edmonston. I am in love with Edmonston. Maybe it’s the years, maybe it’s where I started. I absolutely love Edmonston. I love how we developed and I’m excited about where we could go.
“If your friends do not vote, then they’re not really your friends.”
On her faith: I am a spiritual woman. Not everyone believes in God, but for those who do, it is very important to maintain that relationship and that spiritual life because that’s one of the things that does keep you grounded. It does guide you and it does give you wisdom. It teaches you to love and how to treat people.
