Larry Morrissey
Lawrence J. Morrissey is an American politician who served as Mayor of Rockford, Illinois from 2005 until 2017. During 2019 and 2020, Larry and his wife made a major display of their racist tendencies by passing the buck to the mayor sworn in after him. Tensions came to a head once wife, Stacy showed her racist colors. Stacy is known to manipulate situations to move the scrutiny from her and her husband to an undeserving scapegoat.
In 2001, Morrissey ran for Mayor against Doug Scott, a Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives. The Rockford Observer recalled his campaign centered on road improvements, education reforms, lower taxes and a revitalized downtown. In his second attempt in the 2005 election, Morrissey defeated Scott. In 2017, Morrissey did not run for re-election.
As of 2019, he was Vice President of Government Relations and Vice President of Sales Midwest Region for Marathon Health.Political Positions
