Career

Morgan served on the South Umpqua Land Use Planning Advisory Committee from 1980 until 1998.[2] She was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1998, and served until 2009, representing southern Douglas County. Morgan was elected a Douglas County Commissioner in 2008, and was reelected in 2012. In 2015, she filed a lawsuit against Douglas County, arguing term limits on elected officials were unconstitutional. Some residents of the county started a recall effort against Morgan, but the proposal failed because they did not collect enough signatures by the deadline.[3]
