My wife and I purchased our home in Plymouth in 1992, where we have been fortunate to raise our family and build strong connections to our community. Volunteerism and service are important to me. I have volunteered on the Friends of the Penn board since 2006, managing every Penn Theatre renovation project in that time. My civic service began in 2017 as an appointee to the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals, and I have been the chairperson since 2021.
I recently retired from a 39-year career in the auto industry as a mechanical engineer and project manager. I am now ready to continue my service to the community in a more significant way. I am running for office to bring my experience and transparent, accountable leadership to our city.
Two key issues facing the city are the long-term planning/funding of infrastructure and a lack of trust in city government. Aging infrastructure requires proactive planning, sustainable funding, and clear prioritization to meet future needs. I will advocate for responsible budgeting, transparent capital improvement planning, and open communication with residents about goals and progress.
Rebuilding trust begins with transparency and accountability. If elected, I will promote open dialogue, provide clear explanations for my decisions, and ensure that residents are heard and respected throughout the decision-making process.

Originally from Oregon, I’ve called Plymouth home since 2000, and it’s where my husband and I have loved raising our family. My passion for this community led me to serve eight years on the Planning Commission before joining the City Commission in 2021. I’m running to support smart growth that reflects Plymouth’s unique character and to ensure our city is a welcoming, inclusive place for everyone. I care deeply about preserving what makes Plymouth special while planning thoughtfully for the future.
If re-elected, I’ll focus on smart, thoughtful growth that preserves Plymouth’s small-town charm while planning for the future. I helped pass the Floor Area Ratio ordinance and update the City’s Master Plan to ensure development fits our community and prioritizes walkability. I’m also committed to investing in Old Village through the proposed Corridor Improvement Authority, which reinvests tax growth into local improvements without raising taxes. Finally, I’ll continue improving communication with residents through enhanced engagement and outreach, as well as my personal newsletter, The Plymouth Scoop, so everyone stays informed and involved in shaping our city.

Education
Master’s Degree - Public Policy, Michigan State University; Bachelor of Arts (2) from University of Michigan
I am a senior accountant for an international engineering consultancy. I am seeking reelection because I want to continue building on the progress we have made as a commission over the past 4 years. As a life-long Plymouth resident, it’s incredibly rewarding to serve this community and work alongside a dedicated group of professionals in city government and in the administration. I am married and have 2 sons who recently graduated from MSU. I am an active member and trustee of the Plymouth Democratic Club (PDC) as well. I participate in PDC activities like the Hines Drive Roadside cleanups, collecting toiletries for Cass Community Social Services, gathering food and supplies for the Humane Society and Gleaners, and PCCS clothing bank.
If reelected, I will focus on sustainable & green infrastructure, diverse programming & services for city residents (esp. senior services), and fostering an inclusive, welcoming community. There is no greater challenge than addressing the climate crisis. Other priorities include: funding PCCA & better integrating senior programming, keeping downtown parking free, increasing public-private partnerships in Parks & Rec, and better communication w/ residents. Lastly, Plymouth has an affordable housing problem. Having diverse housing stock is important but that doesn’t just mean the types of structures. Affordable housing is a problem across this country and it will take the support of local, state, and federal leadership to address it.

I'm Nick Moroz, and since 2017 I've served Plymouth as City Commissioner, Mayor Pro Tem, and Mayor. I'm running for re-election because I love this city and believe in working hard to help it thrive. My wife Leigh and I have lived here since 2013, raising our two kids in a walkable, safe, and connected community. As an entrepreneur and educator at the University of Michigan, I bring problem-solving and innovation to public service. I’ve helped secure major infrastructure upgrades, support public safety, revitalize downtown, and strengthen city planning. I’m running to continue building vibrant neighborhoods, invest in smart public safety, and ensure strong financial stewardship for Plymouth’s future.
I’m committed to supporting the success of the Old Village TIF district to reinvest in infrastructure, small businesses, and walkability. I’ll also work to modernize our zoning policies to support smart, character-driven development that fits our neighborhoods, while improving city processes, customer service, and permitting efficiency.
Public safety is more than emergency response—it’s about creating safe, accessible streets for everyone. I’ll continue investing in pedestrian infrastructure, street design, and modern, data-driven tools that keep Plymouth connected and secure.
To protect our high quality of life, I’ll focus on strong financial stewardship, seek funding partnerships, and engage residents to upgrade parks, cultural spaces,

I've now lived half of my life in Plymouth. I'm a graduate of U of D High School, with time at MSU and a degree from U-M. Jeanne and I raised Ian and Olivia here. You'll see me walking my two pugs throughout town!
I served on the Planning Commission from 2010-2018. Proud to be elected Chair for the last four years. In that time we got much accomplished and I was known for working with my fellow Commissioners to ensure health, safety and welfare in decisions regarding the current and future zoning.
Plymouth is soaring, we should all be proud. The city deserves servant leaders. My campaign is about 1) Doing what's best for ALL NEIGHBORS, 2) being part of a FUNCTIONING COMMISSION that collaborates and listens, and 3) being TRUSTWORTHY.
The city has many issues. My priorities will always be health, safety and welfare. The City Commission as a body, with public input, establishes the priorities of the city annually.
What's important to me:
- Maintaining neighborhood character and quality of life in residential - Old Village, New England Village, Hough Park, North, South, East and West sides of town, while successfully executing balanced retail and dining throughout.
- Maintaining financial discipline to ensure that the City continues to be more than solvent to continue providing great services and safety with a very lean, but talented staff.
- Continuing to promote public civility and discourse so that we can continue to function as the model small city in Michigan.

My love for Plymouth runs deep. Though raised in Westland and a Livonia Franklin graduate, my best childhood memories are here, piling into the family station wagon to catch a $1 movie at the historic Penn Theatre or ice cream at Cloverdale Dairy. In our family, a trip to Plymouth always meant a good day.
In 2010, I proposed to my wife, Sheryl Phillips, on the Tonquish Creek bridge, and we made Plymouth our home.
Since high school I’ve always been someone who gets involved—coaching youth sports and robotics, serving on church and choir boards, and organizing community events. I’m running for City Commission because I care deeply about Plymouth and want to give back. My experience, energy, and commitment make me well-suited to serve.
I’m running because Plymouth needs proactive, transparent leadership that listens before deciding. From dense developments like the proposed condos on the Christian Science Church site to outdoor dining fees, super-bright streetlights in Old Village, downtown flooding and the failed Parks & Rec millage, too many decisions are made without real community input. The city communicates at residents, not with them. Had the city listened, a millage might’ve passed with 75% support. We deserve leadership that engages early, respects public concerns, and protects the character of our city. I will fight for early public engagement, thoughtful growth, open dialogue, and fiscally responsible policies that reflect the will of Plymouth residents.

As an architect and longtime Planning Commissioner since 2015, I’ve worked tirelessly to preserve what makes Plymouth a rare urban oasis—its unique charm, walkability, and vibrant sense of community. For the past decade, I’ve helped guide our growth with intention and care. Now, I’m ready to continue that service on the City Commission, to ensure Plymouth remains a place we’re proud to call home.
No matter where we stand on the issues, I believe communication and transparency must remain top priorities—so every resident stays informed and engaged. During my service on the Planning Commission, I came to appreciate how rare Plymouth truly is: a vibrant Main Street, walkable blocks, and historic charm that deserves extra care to flourish. Yet we face real challenges—aging infrastructure, rising legacy costs, and the pressure to grow without losing what makes us special. As an architect, I bring both creativity and practicality to the table. That perspective is needed on the City Commission—and I will always put the citizens of Plymouth first.

My husband and I moved to the City of Plymouth in 1998 with our three sons, then ages 1, 3, and 5. I hold a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and an M.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering. I retired from a career in IT, where I progressed from programmer/analyst to manager. I served on the City Planning Commission for eight years, including six as Chair.
I’m running because many residents feel that changes are being advanced without their input or support. I want to help repair that disconnect by promoting transparency, open dialogue, and authentic public engagement. Our city’s policies and budget should reflect the values and priorities of its residents—and that requires two-way communication and a real commitment to listening.
A major issue facing the city is the lack of meaningful public engagement in decision-making. A comprehensive survey was conducted in 2019; however, subsequent surveys have been limited and vague. If elected, I would advocate for a citywide survey and open public dialogue to identify current priorities, and I will hold the administration accountable for following the 2020 Public Participation Strategy. I support establishing a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to provide a dedicated forum to address needs and plan improvements. Fiscal oversight is vital. I will expect budget reviews to go beyond a high-level overview and include item-level discussion. Lastly, I aim to improve public visibility and input into Capital Improvements Program.
