Christopher Morrison cites ‘call to service’, work on local issues in reelection bid
I am not running on a partisan platform, even though I am a Republican (nor could I anyway due to my employment with U.S. Govt).
I am not endorsed by either party. This position as a Town Councilman is not about what the Democrat or Republican party wants me to do. It is about what the people want. I represent them, not some lobbyist in DC, special interest group or political ideology.
We need to come together and rise above all of the confusion that is tearing us apart. What we do on the Council should matter to every citizen in Front Royal. And because it’s so important for us to represent everyone, I’m not out seeking partisan endorsements like the others on the ticket. I’ll represent everyone. Just like when I served in the Military. It wasn’t my job to write the US foreign and domestic policy. It was my job to help enforce it. And I did so with impartiality and dignity serving my country for many years in both the Coast Guard and the Army.
My call to service is what prompted me to join the Federal Government where I continue to serve my country as a proud and productive Federal Employee. But I’ve learned that the most important politics is local. So I served on the Town Planning Commission. I did not take that role lightly. And when I was appointed to Council, I continued to represent the people of this Town as I have always served, with impartiality and fairness. And now that I am up for election, I hope that the people of Front Royal will take the fact that I have everyone’s interest in mind to heart and vote me back in. I’ll continue to serve them as best I can in an impartial and level-headed way. One that is not swayed by the opinions of one partisan group or another.
