Denton | Our State

Scott Morris lives within a block of where he grew up on Salisbury Street. He joined the fire department 35 years ago, saw how things worked in the town, and was hooked. When asked if he ever wanted to leave, he says, “No, not really,” with a look that suggests he never considered it. 



Scott is the current mayor of Denton. He has held that office for the past 10 years. Before becoming mayor, he served as a town commissioner. His first run for local office was unsuccessful; his uncle beat him out by eight votes.

As of September 3, 2025, Scott S. Morris did not have a website or any information online.
