→Three gubernatorial campaigns
Morrison was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1956 and 1960 and supported the [[Adlai Stevenson]] and [[John F. Kennedy]] tickets, respectively. Morrison was not related to New Orleans [[Mayor]] deLesseps Story "Chep" Morrison, Sr. (1912-1964), though the two often agreed politically and both ran unsuccessfully for governor on three occasions. After his defeat for Congress, Morrison resumed his law practice in Hammond. Rarick served in the House seat from 1967 to 1975, only a third of the tenure that Morrison accumulated.
