State representative Charles Gay Morrow III was born on July 21, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois.

Upon graduation, Peoples Gas and the Coca-Cola Company hired Morrow where he worked for eighteen years. Morrow then joined the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Chicago, making him a viable political candidate. Morrow was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1986 from the 26th District. Since then, Morrow acted as Chairman of the Appropriations-Public Safety Committee, Co-Chair of the Legislative Printing Unit and the Vice-Chairman of the Public Utilities Committee.
