A survivor of domestic violence, Gracey rebuilt her life in Huntington Beach, where she and her husband, Pieter Van Der Mark, raised a blended family of seven children and now run a successful property management business.

Gracey is running to represent the 72nd Assembly District, currently held by Assemblywoman Diane Dixon, who is seeking a seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Along with Seal Beach, the 72^nd Assembly District is home to the cities of Aliso Viejo, Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, and Newport Beach.
