Morris Hood III

Morris W. Hood III (May 21, 1965 – May 11, 2020) was an American politician who served as a member of the Michigan Senate.

Prior to his election to the legislature, Hood was a production technician at Ford Motor Company's Dearborn Engine & Fuel Tank Plant.

He was unable to run for re-election due to term limits, and was succeeded by Sylvia Santana.

Due to term limits, Hood went to work in Wayne County administration after his stint in the Michigan State senate ended.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a former state lawmaker herself and colleague of Hood, called him "a dear friend and proud Detroiter dedicated to community service".
