PRESS RELEASE: JUNE 20, 2025
CONCORD, NC — Steve Morris, one of the longest-serving commissioners in Cabarrus County history, former Chairman of the board, and a lifelong Concord resident, announced today he will run for Mayor of Concord in the upcoming election.
“Concord has been my home for more than 40 years. I’ve raised my family here and have had the privilege of serving in elected office for the past 12 years,” Morris said. “With Mayor Bill Dusch retiring, I believe this is the right time to step forward and continue building on the progress we’ve made.”
Steve shares his concerns about the proposed Concord Farms project and calls for thoughtful, community-centered development in Concord.

Like many of you, I left Thursday’s city council meeting about D.R Horton’s proposed Concord Farms project with more questions than answers. I took time to dig into the details over the weekend before speaking publicly, because decisions like this deserve more than a quick reaction.
