WE are Proud: Eric Morrison

Eric Morrison is the first openly gay man elected to the Delaware General Assembly. He was one of three LGBT candidates elected to the General Assembly in 2020. Morrision, a graduate from the University of Delaware, won the Democratic primary for the 27th District of the House of Representatives against longtime incumbent Earl Jaques Jr.,  a Democrat who voted against same-sex marraige in Delaware.

Since a young age, Rep. Morrison has been very involved in his community. As an adult, he has held long-term leadership positions in community organizations and nonprofits including Delaware Pride and Delaware United. Also, he has volunteered and continues to volunteer for numerous community organizations like AIDS Delaware, the Rainbow Chorale of Delaware, and Faithful Friends. He has volunteered regularly at the Food Bank of Delaware for over 15 years.
