- Amanda Gorman, Joe Biden Inauguration 

My family and I are so very grateful to each of you for providing me the opportunity to serve the citizens of Morrisville, an All-America City for four more years. I want to thank my Campaign Team, including Campaign Strategists, Satish Garimella, and SaiKiran Kollavennu, Volunteer Leaders, Tushar Barot, Viren Patel, Vishal Ghadia and a thanks to Bill Madden and my door knocking team as well for knocking on thousands of doors. Our hard work paid off as we won the most votes of any candidate in any contested race in this years’ election.  

It has been my honor to serve the citizens of Morrisville for the Past Decade and I look forward to beginning my new Decade of Service when I am sworn into my fourth term!   I look forward to continuing to invest in transportation, schools, parks, and technology to make Morrisville the number one place to live, work and play in the nation, a place where we can Live Connected and Live Well!  

In my fourth term, I will continue to invest in our future, focus on growing innovation and will continue to lead the Town of Morrisville to be the “Smartest City” in the state and nation.  

Finally, I thank James Semmons and Patty Cheng for running as first time candidates and look forward to their continued involvement in the Town.  

Congratulations to Mayor Cawley for his re-election along with Council Member Vicki Scroggins Johnson. 

On a personal note, I want to thank Mayor Pro Tem Liz Johnson for running a very positive campaign and for being such a wonderful role model for the Council and the citizens of Morrisville.
