The Maryland Gubernatorial Primary Election took place statewide on Tuesday, June 26 and citizens across Greenbelt headed to the polls to cast their ballots. Throughout Tuesday morning, turnout was initially slow. At times there were more people campaigning outside the polls than in the election booths themselves.
At least three candidates – Lupi Grady, Alonzo Washington and Anne Healey – campaigned in person in Greenbelt on election day. Grady, who is running for re-election for District 2 Board of Education, stood outside Eleanor Roosevelt High School talking to voters before they went into the booth.
“Some people come in with choices already made, but others stop and ask and want to learn,” Grady said. “It’s great to have those dialogues with people that want to have those conversations. It’s personable, I love to interact and listen to different concerns and explain the role [of what I do].”
