James Henry Morrissey (May 10, 1930 – November 5, 2023) was an American politician who served as a Republican Assemblyman from California's 69th State Assembly district from 1994 to 1998.

[3] Morrissey got into politics several years ago after his wife saw him yelling at a politician on the TV screen and suggested he stop complaining and try to make a change.

Jim Morrissey served on the executive board of the Republican Central Committee of Orange County.

[1] In 1995, the Legislature passed a Morrissey resolution calling for the release of Jimmy Tran, an American citizen being held as a political prisoner in Vietnam.

Jim later traveled to Vietnam at his own expense to try and win Tran's political freedom and that of nine other Vietnamese Americans.
