Authors Note:  I had a chance to meet 9th district candidate Gerra Davis Mary recently at Connie’s Kitchen in Seymour so I took the opportunity to sit down and speak with her.  This is some of what came of our conversation.

What are you running for?
Well, I am a candidate for County Commission in the 9th district seat B.

Are you from the Seymour area?  Tell me about your family.

Yes.  I am the Granddaughter of Long John Davis, the daughter of Harry & Wilma Davis, and the wife of Ben Mary for the past 51 years.  I am the mother to three children and the grandmother to nine, two of which attend Seymour Schools.  My heritage goes back 150 years in Sevier County.
