Jessica C. Morrison is an at-large member of the Community Consolidated School District 15 Board of Education in Illinois. She was first elected to the board in the general election on April 7, 2015.[1]
Morrison joined fellow challengers David Gurion and Zubair Khan to form a candidate slate for the 2015 general election. They supported each other's candidacies and asked voters to put all three of them on the board.[2] They faced another slate of candidates called "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" that included incumbents Gerard Iannuzzelli and Manjula V. Sriram and challenger Frank Annerino.[3] Neither candidate slate was successful. Only Sriram won her bid for re-election in the "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" slate, and only two members of the challenger slate, Morrison and Khan, won election to the board.[1]

Perry.
Two candidate slates emerged in this election. Incumbents Gerard Iannuzzelli and Manjula V. Sriram formed a slate with challenger Frank Annerino called "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15," referencing their ballot placements. Challengers David Gurion, Zubair Khan and Jessica C. Morrison also formed a slate. Both groups asked voters to place all three candidates in the slate on the school board.
Neither candidate slate was fully successful, though members of both slates won seats on the board. Only Sriram won her bid for re-election in the "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" slate, and only two members of the challenger slate, Morrison and Khan, were elected to the board.
