[6] In 2014, Morrison wrote a letter to a Circuit Court of Cook County judge John J. Hynes, arguing that Martin should be allowed to work out of state despite being a defendant in a pending criminal case.

[6] Nineteen after Morrison wrote the letter to the judge, on a business trip to Colorado, Martin was arrested for using the internet to again attempt to solicit sex from an underage girl, being caught in a sting operation in which the Jefferson County District Attorney's office had an investigator pose online as a 14-year-old girl.

[23] In 2019, when a bill that would have seen the Board of Commissioners urge the Illinois General Assembly to pass HB2495 (The Reproductive Health Act), Morrison voiced his "pro-life" stance.

His predecessor, Aaron Del Mar, opted not to seek reelection to the position, and had given his support for Morrison, who had been his deputy chairman, to be made his successor.

[36][37] In September 2017, Morrison criticized Republican Illinois governor Bruce Rauner for signing HB 40, which removed a provision that excluded abortions, induced miscarriages, and premature births from the list of services provided under the State's medical assistance program.

[40] As the election neared, Morrison announced he and Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider would record a robocall urging people against voting for Jones.

[42][43] Morrison attracted criticism from Cleveland for not appointing individuals to fill vacancies for several Chicago ward committeepeople positions.

[42] In January 2018, Chicago Republican Party chairman Chris Cleveland attempted to appoint "acting" committeepeople, drawing a harsh rebuke from Morrison who accused Cleveland of attempting to "usurp the statutory authority" of the Cook County Republican Party.

[46][47][48] In the aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Morrison released a statement which condemned the "disgraceful and lawless behavior", and which also compared it to the George Floyd protests,[49] a comparison that other Republicans also made, and a comparison that critics have argued draws a false equivalence.
