Tom DeLay's challenger Richard Morrison

Texas Blogs Unite For Texas Tuesdays! Give to Richard Morrison!

No candidate has run a real race against DeLay in nearly 20 years so Morrison is treading on new ground. A recent poll showed only 35% of DeLay's constituents would definitely vote to see him reelected while 54% would definitely or maybe vote for someone new. He had a disapproval rating of 48%, his district is majority pro-choice and he is facing possible indictment.

A native of Liberty County, Richard Morrison earned his bachelor's degree from Baylor University in 1992 and graduated from South Texas College of Law in 1995. He currently lives in Sugar Land with his wife Allyson, a full-time mother, and their four young children. The Morrisons are active in the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Rosenberg.

Morrison works as an attorney and seasoned advocate for environmental and consumer rights. His precedent-setting work in Kerr vs. Harris County protected the property of Houston area residents from improper condemnation and seizure by their government. Richard is also an active member of Houston Voters Against Flooding.

In private practice, Richard has handled complex environmental litigation to protect Texas families and bring balance to the system. In 1997, The Houston Sierra Club recognized Richard's accomplishments and awarded him their Special Conservation Award. Understanding that the cost of an ordinary lawyer is often beyond the means of most hard-working families, Richard makes it a practice to match his fees with a client's ability to pay.
