“Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in this election,” Deel said. “I am so excited for the opportunity to serve on Murphy’s City Council! Creating a social media communication plan for council and soliciting input on what changes/additions residents most want are top of my mind as I get started.”

Mayor Scott Bradley was not opposed and was re-elected with 1,048 votes cast.
Election results are not official until the votes are canvassed.
