“Folsom is fortunate to have someone as qualified, experienced, and prepared as Andy Morin. Community members, Councilmembers, and staff have worked with Andy for over two decades, and know him to be fair, trustworthy, wise, and deeply committed to our community,” said Mayor Sarah Aquino. “On behalf of the Council, I thank Andy for his willingness to serve our city in this important leadership role during these challenging times. I would also like to thank the individuals who submitted applications to fill the vacant Council seat. It is heartwarming to see so many residents willing to step up and serve our city.”

Local Experience

Morin previously served on the Folsom City Council from 2003 to 2018 and served as mayor five times during his tenure. A 32-year resident of Folsom, Morin served as a Folsom Planning Commissioner, member of the Folsom Schools Bond Oversight Committee, Treasurer of the Folsom Public Library Foundation, and Chair of the successful 2002 Measure C School Bond Campaign.

“I am honored to bring my many years of city service back to the Folsom City Council on an interim basis through the remaining term of the vacated seat,” said Morin. “I appreciate the Council’s faith and confidence in me to serve Folsom during this unprecedented time.”
