Who is Sandra Douglass Morgan’s husband?
Sandra Douglass Morgan is married to former NFL star, Don Morgan.
During his time in NFL, Don played for the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals as defensive back. His love for football began whilst studying at University of Nevada, Reno, where he played the sport for his college.
Sandra and Don’s date of marriage is unknown, and it seems like they try to keep their relationship as private as possible. Sandra’s Instagram account is on private, and with only 600 followers it’s unlikely that the star accepts requests from those outside her circle.
However, HITC do know that the pair have two children together, a daughter named Dana and a son named Dylan.
Sandra Douglass Morgan’s career
Before pursuing her career as an NFL president, Sandra was known for her work as a lawyer. In fact, Sandra was also the first Black city attorney in Nevada.
According to her LinkedIn, she graduated from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with a degree in Law.
After this, Sandra went on to be the Independent Director of Fidelity National Financial, Allegiant and Caesars Entertainment Inc. She is also a current member of the advisory board for Cerberus Sentinel, a company who help businesses cybersecurity and compliance.
In November 2021, Sandra began her job as an attorney with Covington & Burling LLP, a law firm located in Las Vegas and Washington D.C.
Sandra Douglass Morgan’s speech on joining the Raiders
Sandra made a speech during a news conference on her thoughts on becoming the new president of the Las Vegas Raiders. She told viewers:
“I have been the first in other positions that I’ve held, whether it be city attorney or the gaming control board, I definitely never want to be the last, and I want to get to a point obviously where there is no more firsts, but as I mention in my comments, the impact that this has is not lost on me.”
She also added:
“As a local who grew up here this is a dream come true, this wouldn’t have been possible for someone in Las Vegas to have an opportunity to lead a professional sports organisation more than three years ago. So the opportunity that Mark has granted and just being a part of the Raiders is obviously an incredible privilege, but it’s just as important that he understands the value that I can bring as well.”
