MorrisvilleAction Endorsements

The MorrisvilleAction.org (MAO) steering committee has met with all Morrisville Town Council candidates, with the exception of Jan Faulkner, who stated she would not accept the invitation to be interviewed and that she was not seeking MAO's endorsement. MorrisvilleAction thanks all the candidates who met with it to share their visions for future Morrisville.

For Morrisville Town Council Election on November 3rd, MorrisvilleAction.org is pleased to announce its endorsements:
Mayor - Jackie Holcombe
At Large - Tom Murry
District 2 - Steve Diehl
District 4 - Margaret Broadwell

Mayor
For mayor, MorrivilleAction enthusiastically endorses Jackie Holcombe, an active and effective advocate for our community. Mrs. Holcombe will provide the new leadership that Morrisville desperately needs. She helped the grassroots effort against the 19% property tax increase supported by her opponent in 2008 and brings to the table a track record of fiscal responsibility.

As a small business owner, Mrs. Holcombe also understands the difficulties faced by businesses large and small in these challenging economic times. Her responsive style of leadership and promotion of sustainable growth we can afford will serve the town well.

At Large
Tom Murry has served on the Morrisville Town Council since 2005. A fiscal conservative, Councilman Murry has never voted for a property tax increase. He is a strong advocate for citizen-driven efforts to increase public safety and government efficiency such as the Morrisville Community Emergency Response Team and the Morrisville Budget Performance Assessment Panel. Councilman Murry has frequently called for more citizen input opportunities on important issues facing the Town. MorrisvilleAction is pleased to endorse Councilman Murry.

District 2
For District 2, MorrisvilleAction endorses Steve Diehl. Since moving to Morrisville in 2001, Steve has been a tireless advocate for citizens. Whether on Town Advisory Committees, an often heard voice of reason at Public Hearings, or in news reports from local media, Mr. Diehl has consistently supported resident residents' interests. MorrisvilleAction believes Steve Diehl will provide the leadership needed to move Morrisville forward in a fiscally responsible manner.

District 4
MorrisvilleAction endorses Margaret Broadwell for District 4. MAO endorses Ms. Broadwell due to her thorough understanding of the issues directly affecting our community and her previous 10 years experience of public service on the Morrisville Town Council. She has a proven record of bringing citizen friendly programs and policies to the community while supporting fiscal responsibility and an open government.
