Marc Thorne says it feels great to have landed his fourth term as mayor of Sussex.
He landed the top spot, Monday night, in a three-way race against Tim Hutchinson and Sonja Davis Carhart.
In an interview with Acadia News, he says it was a bit of a “tough election” with a number of things going on creating pressure.
“With trying to resolve significant flooding and the closure of a very important bridge within the heart of our community,” explains Thorne.
“So, when you’re in a position like mine, you never really know how the public feels.”
The 66-year-old has held the role since 2012 after he was elected in by acclamation halfway through the 2022 election.
Thorne says there are mixed feelings when it comes to holding the title for so long.
“Sometimes you feel weary, but most of the time it’s a very satisfying experience to take your community and to make it a better place for people to live, grow and raise their families,” shares Thorne.
He thanks his constituents for their trust.
“I never take it for granted,” says Thorne.
