Spectrum News 13 out of Florida is reporting that former IMPACT Wrestling & WWE star Matt Morgan is championing a new role after last night, and that’s mayor of Longwood, FL. The Blueprint won via unanimous decision among the five city commissioners and his term started immediately. Below are some quotes from Morgan regarding his new appointment.
“I am humbled and grateful to my fellow commissioners for believing in me,” new Longwood city mayor Matt Morgan said. “Thank you to Ben Paris for introducing me to politics to begin with, and encouraging me to go out in to the community and be me.”
“The first thing I did was flash back to grammar school riding the special education bus and being made fun,” Morgan said. “It always made me feel lesser than others, but now it has come full circle. I really believe if you are willing to put in the work, you are able to punch your own ticket and do whatever you want to do with your life one day.”
“I’m going to tell you the exact same thing I said when I was sworn in to the city commissioner seat one and a half years ago: we are a team of five here in Longwood. Each responsible represents one finger on a hand, and when you ball that up it forms a fist, an undeniable, an unpenatrable, unbreakable fist who carries out the wishes of our Longwood residents,” he exclaimed.
Morgan was Deputy Mayor for being voted in and even the now former Mayor in Ben Paris cast his vote for the seven-foot city leader.
Does Longwood now have the tallest mayor in the ??? New @LongwoodFL mayor @BPmattmorgan is SEVEN FEET TALL! Think I can post him up in one-on-one? NYC mayor @BilldeBlasio is 6’5”.
