“Holy mackerel, I’m beyond elated, I’m excited I’m ecstatic, I’ve got goosebumps the size of footballs at the opportunity to serve a bigger demographic,” Morgan said in the video posted to his Facebook page. “I do have a heavy heart here because I know some of our Longwood residents are going to feel saddened by this, right? I just ask that those of you who have always supported me... everybody, I hope to have your support in this upcoming August primary election.”
Morgan was elected to Longwood’s city commission back in 2017 and was elected as the city’s deputy mayor just two years later, then becoming the mayor which is his current position.
