Thanks to its
People,
It's Good to be Morrisville!
Yesterday's election results are in, and the people have spoken. As
our town moves into the future, there's no denying that it’s good to be Morrisville!
"Throughout my campaign, I've said that it's good to be
Morrisville," states Mayor Jackie Holcombe. "I truly
believe that. As I reflect on my campaign, and the many, many reasons why it's good to be Morrisville, one thing rises above the others --
and that's Morrisville's people, who make this such a wonderful
community".
Jackie sends out a huge THANK YOU to:
- Campaign supporters and volunteers: So many people put
aside other priorities and worked tirelessly to help share
Jackie's message. This fantastic campaign team is appreciated
immensely. And of course, Jackie's husband Rick
and
daughter Lindsay deserve untold thanks
for unwavering support and encouragement in the midst of the
hectic schedules and disruptions associated with a campaign.
- All candidates: It is a significant
commitment to run for public office, and 10 people in
Morrisville made that commitment this year. Thanks to all the
candidates for a commitment to public service and positive
debate about the issues that affect our citizens.
- Election officials: Our democracy rests
on free and fair elections, and many dedicated individuals work
to ensure that's the case. We appreciate the board of elections
staff and all others who oversee our elections,
with special thanks in particular to the polling place officials
who put in extraordinarily long days to make sure that votes are
cast and counted correctly and efficiently.
- All voters: Most of all, thanks
to everyone who participated in the election by casting a vote.
Turnout in Morrisville for this election was 21% --
higher than usual for our town, and significantly higher than
the Wake County average among all the towns who voted yesterday.
Jackie
congratulates Mark
Stohlman, Steve Rao, TJ Cawley and Vicki Scroggins-Johnson
on their election and wishes them well as they represent the citizens
of Morrisville.
In addition to her sincere thanks and congratulations, Jackie
observes, "it's been an honor and privilege to serve as
Morrisville Mayor these past 4 years. I am proud of all we have
accomplished in building a better Morrisville for the future. With
the election behind us, I believe that it is time for our community
to work together to ensure that Morrisville's next chapter is a
successful one".
