Highlights

Mr. Morgan attended the University of Utah and Harvard Law School. During law school, he served as a legal clerk to the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics, where he assisted the newly-established investigative body review allegations of misconduct by Members of Congress. In this capacity, he became intimately familiar with the laws and ethical standards governing Members and the entities that interact with them. He also interned at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston, Massachusetts and worked for Professor Lawrence Lessig, conducting research on campaign finance, lobbying, and congressional ethics. 

Prior to attending law school, Mr. Morgan co-authored a textbook on interest groups and lobbying, researched the development of interest groups in Lithuania under a grant from the National Science Foundation, and managed a state-level political campaign in Utah. He also worked extensively to increase youth voter participation, worked as the communications director at the University of Utah's renowned Hinckley Institute of Politics, and interned at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working in the areas of campaign finance, redistricting, and government ethics.

An avid college football fan, he is a co-founder of PlayoffPAC, the principal opposition group to college football's Bowl Championship Series.
