2023 Mooresville Election Results

MOORESVILLE — In what was Morgan County’s only contested race in Tuesday’s municipal elections, Republican Kirk Witt defeated Libertarian Danny Lundy by a vote of 457 to 191 for a spot on the Mooresville Town Council.

He will replace current town councilman Shane Williams, who was defeated in the May primary election.

Williams was first elected to his seat in 2019.

While working the polling location in Mooresville on Tuesday, both Lundy and Witt discussed the election with the Morgan County Correspondent.

The two men commended each other for running a good race in this year’s election.

“It has been an amicable and fair race,” Lundy said. “Kirk and I have been getting along all week. We talk about things we hope to get done. Hopefully, no matter what happens, we can carry some of those ideas forward from both of us.”

“Me and Danny have been here everyday,” Witt noted. “The good thing is, we get along perfectly fine, and that’s the best thing about this whole thing. When it is all said and done, we’re going to be good with one another.”
