Ward 7 Coun. Josh Morgan will be taking over as deputy mayor after a vote by councillors Tuesday night.

Morgan will replace Ward 4 Coun. Jesse Helmer after his two-year term ends in November.

“Deputy Mayor Helmer left some big shoes to fill, and I will do my best to work hard on behalf of the mayor and council,” Morgan said.

Mayor Ed Holder nominated Morgan at Tuesday night’s city council meeting.

London currently has only one deputy mayor, chosen by the mayor and voted by city council.
“Over the years, I have worked with pretty much every member of council, moving motions or initiative forward, so I truly see this as a position that works for all of council,” Morgan said.
