Some of the top contributors to Morris's 2008 campaign, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics:
In 1992, Morris defeated incumbent Democrat Leroy Hayden, by 15,178 to 7,456 votes. Seven of eight moderate state senate Republicans, including Morris, targeted by the Koch brothers, were defeated in the 2012 Republican primary, giving incumbent Governor Sam Brownback the margin he needed to effectively restructure state taxation, exempting "S" status filers such as Koch Industries from income taxes. Morris lost to Larry Powell by a 5,106-4,737 margin in the primary on Aug. 7, 2012. In 2014, Morris, as a member of Republicans for Kansas Values, supported Democratic State Senator Paul Davis for governor, over Brownback.
